The goal of this WP is to coordinate the implementation of the project as outlined in the work plan; ensure progress of the project, the adherence of the partners to administrative guidelines of the program as required by BELSPO and so guarantee the timely delivery of the project’s outputs. Furthermore, this WP will ensure a proper communication flow between the funding agency, the partners of the project, the follow-up committee and with the international contacts.

Under this task the partners will build upon the networking efforts already developed under DiSSCo Prepare with the National Nodes by communicating on a regular basis on the progress made under the various tasks and to open for integration the collections potentially relevant for DiSSCo. This work will be achieved by developing a collective understanding of DiSSCo objectives among the partners, identify more potential partners through a mapping of the existing collections and a targeted communication strategy including the Be.DiSSCo-FED Nodes meetings that will be organized (as physical or online meetings) at least once every 2 months. Another objective of this task is to put in place the project collaborative platform (using a Plone server already installed at RBINS) |
