2.Exploitation: measures to protect IPR, development of business plans and pursuing the commercial exploitation of foreground
3.Training and technology transfer
4.Pro-active risk management and contingency
5.Input to relevant standardisation committees/work groups
Work package Leader: CTB
Objectives:
1.Efficient management at administrative and technical level: taking appropriate actions to meet the project objectives and assuring the continuing commitment of the HEREWEARpartners.
2.Day-to-day coordination: ensuring integration of all activities, organising the information flow, GA meetings, etc.
3.Provide detailed activity reporting and planning, enabling the EC to properly review the project progress.
4.Efficient Data Management
