2.2.8 Project management

There is a long history of succesful collaborations among the partners of the FERMI consortium, carried out through common projects and research activities. Examples of bilateral collaborations are:

• a collaboration between GU-CS and UNIDO-CS funded by the British Council;
• the Aliance project between GU-CS and LGI-IMAG funded by CNRS and the British Council;
• a personnel exchange from CNR-IEI to GU-CS funded by NATO.

In addition, CNR-IEI, GU-CS and LGI-IMAG are members of the MIRO Working Group (n. 6576) and the whole FERMI consortium is involved in the IDOMENUES Network of Excellence.

The solid links already existing between the members of the FERMI consortium will require only a small additional structure in order to make the cooperation within the project work. This structure will consist of:

• a project leader, responsible for handling all communications with the Community, coordinating the activities among the work parts, ensuring that all project deliverables are available on time, organising and chairing all meetings related to the project;

• a work part leader for each work part, responsible for coordinating the research activities within the work part, organising technical meetings between the members of the work part, reporting progress and problems concerning his work part to the project leader;

• a site leader for each site, responsible for the communication to and from the site.
