The WP leads committee consists of the coordinator (Grant-holder), the project manager and WP leads. Its main responsibility is to managed day-to-day affairs of the project, to ensure well managed and planned activities, timely allocation of activities to the appropriate staff, and mitigating risks in delays.

The kick-off meeting will be the starting point for all participates to bring about a common understanding of the project aims, and objectives well defined with clear time-scales and responsibilities. WP leads will be responsible for managing activities of their individual work packages and reporting progress in regularly WP leads committee meetings. The financial administration of the project will be largely the responsibility of the Project Coordinator (USi, P1). The project coordinator, in consultation with the steering committee and EU project officer where necessary, will ensure the implementation of the Erasmus+ rules within the financial procedures of the university.
