Project Management (Theme 9)
Theme Leader -
Prof. Berthold
Koletzko
The project management provided a
structure that addressed the complexity of the project and ensured the effective
integration of each of the activities within the different Themes.
Internal management
structure
The project was coordinated by Professor Berthold Koletzko with a project office
based at the University of Munich. The Project Co-ordination Committee,
made up of all the Theme leaders, oversaw the project progress, which included
all scientific, ethical, dissemination, training and financial matters.
The General Assembly was composed of one member from each partner and had the
ultimate decision making responsibility for the consortium.
External advisory groups
The large size of the consortium and the 5 year duration of the project made it
imperative to have periodic external review and critical stimulation.
Therefore, 2 advisory groups were set up that met once every 12 months
to review the project progress based on written progress reports and face to
face discussions with project partners. These were the Project Advisory
Group and the Dissemination and Exploitation Consensus Platform.
The Project Advisory Group
(PAG) focused on the scientific and technological progress of the project.
