WP6: Project management

Project organisation structure:

In order to realize a successful project it is important to have a clear and transparent project organisation.

The project organisation will have 3 levels:

1. A steering committee which members operate on management level (decision makers) within their organisation. Each project partner will participate in this committee.
2. Project management. Project management will be carried out by Jarabee and the West University of Timisoara.
3. Four work groups: (needs assessment, VIT−innovation, website, implementation Romania).

The project manager will participate in both the steering committee and the work groups and will be the linking pin within the organisation.

Responsibilities:

1. Steering committee will:

• steer the project management
• monitor the general progress of the project
• communicate on macro level (national authorities)
• be responsible for project evaluation (both intern and extern)
• create conditions for sustainability and valorisation of the project results
• participate in project conferences
• have meetings with support of video−conferencing

2. Project management will:

• make a project management handbook with working methods and a communication model (including financial appointments). This is also related to the quality management.
• coordinate and monitor all operational project activities
• participate in and report to the steering committee
• participate in four project work groups
• communicate with all participants (multilateral, bilateral)
• report about the project progress to the Leonardo da Vinci programme (including the final report)
• be responsible for the project administration (including financial).

3. The work groups will:

• execute their specific tasks and participate in the related project activities
• report about the progress to the project manager
