A project management steering committee will be formed at the start of the project and it consists of the coordinator (Grant-holder), the project manager and WP leads (or coordinators) and a representative from each partner. Its main responsibility is to ensure well coordination of the project, well-planned running of the project, adherence to EU and QA rules, financial management, project outputs and mitigating risks as they arise. The WP leads committee consists of the coordinator (Grant-holder), the project manager and WP leads. Its main responsibility is to managed day-to-day affairs of the project, to ensure well managed and planned activities, timely allocation of activities to the appropriate staff, and mitigating risks in delays.
The kick-off meeting will be the starting point for all participates to bring about a common understanding of the project aims, and objectives well defined with clear time-scales and responsibilities. WP leads will be responsible for managing activities of their individual work packages and reporting progress in regularly WP leads committee meetings. The financial administration of the project will be largely the responsibility of the Project Coordinator (USi, P1). The project coordinator, in consultation with the steering committee and EU project officer where necessary, will ensure the implementation of the Erasmus+ rules within the financial procedures of the university. Where necessary, the grand-holder and project will provide information and/or guidance to administrators at partner universities.
The work package will also include the participation of project representatives in Erasmus+ EU meetings and preparation of the project management reports.
