Objectives (ii)
The primary role of the work-package is to periodically monitor the work’s progress according to the
schedule. Periodic monitoring checks the quality of outputs and ensures through feed-back the best results.
A mechanism will be put in place to evaluate the impact of the project on the targeted application areas
during and after its lifetime.
Description of work (iii)
T6.1 Monitoring (SMK,OEAW)
Monitor the progression of the work, notice partners in time on delays, provide monitoring notes to the
partners, coordinator and the Commission. The monitoring will be conducted by the coordinator’s office,
which has the best overview of the state of the project. A general assessment is formed by day-to-day
contact with the partners, while formal assessments, consisting in short notices about the work progress of
each partner, will have a frequency of 6 months.
T6.2 Validation (SMK, IVCR, TUG, UTBV)
Implement a project-wide validation mechanism, generate quality assessment reports on the developed
outputs and provide feed-back to the developers. The validation mechanism is based on the cycles of
evaluation and feed-back at work-package and project level, involving both project members and external
users.
T6.3 Evaluation (SMK, OEAW)
Continual feed-back from external users on their assessment of the developed outputs is to be maintained
by using the network put in place in the “WP7 Dissemination” workpackage. A final analysis and report on
the observed impact will be presented at the end of the project. A list of evaluation criteria conceived in this
work-package will ensure that other assessments of the project’s impact can be conducted after the
project’s lifetime.
