The Management work package is devoted to the management of the program, ensuring the timely execution of the planned work, to the management and the coordination of the financial and the technical reporting and the exchange of information. Further, the function of this work package (WP) is to monitor the consistency of the planned activities with a continuous benchmarking activity and to coordinate the activity in the WPs ensuring the timely achievements of the objectives and the management of the deviations from the foreseen plan. The quality management deals with the monitoring of the project advancement. Periodical verification of the project objectives, and review of tasks and milestones are considered as useful means. An indicator for monitoring the number of proposals submitted as coordinators by research staff of SPIN, during the project lifetime, in FP7 about the thematic area of the project (a minimum value has to be 2) will be considered. Similar to the previous one, there will be also an indicator to monitor the FP7 project activities where SPIN acts as a participant. Other indicators are also considered for monitoring the impact to the research potential increase of the activities planned within the project.
