Work Packages & Tasks
Work plan and resources
The project is structured in five work packages, beginning with management and coordination of all administrative, scientific, and ethical aspects (WP1), followed by capacity building through trainings and skills development for researchers and staff (WP2). It then fosters interdisciplinary growth via workshops, Seasonal Schools, and mobilities (WP3), supports core ISAC/6G research from conceptualization to convergence (WP4), and concludes with dissemination, collaboration, and standardisation activities to ensure long-term impact (WP5).
Project Management & Coordination
Ensure smooth project execution through coordinated management, financial oversight, risk monitoring, and timely deliverables.
Project Coordination & Financial Administration
Manage resources, communications, legal, ethical, and gender aspects, organize meetings, and oversee reporting.
Technical & Scientific Management
Align technical work across WPs, monitor progress, and make strategic scientific decisions.
Quality & Risk
Management
Implement quality assurance, monitor project risks, and report on mitigation measures.
Open Science, Data & Innovation Management
Apply FAIR principles, manage data, ensure ethical compliance, and oversee IPR and innovation strategy.
