The role of the co-ordination organisation

The overall co-ordination of the project will be the responsibility of the University of Innsbruck. The project co-ordinator will provide the administrative and scientific co-ordination. This includes the permanent linkage between different research areas and partner teams, the implementation of periodical reviews of the progress of the research (each year, general report, general meeting, with a scientific seminar, and intermediate synthetic report), workshops advancing and tuning methodological approaches by the CARBOMONT participants and integrating related workpackages, as well as the necessary networks with external partners and organisations. This will ensure the smooth operation of CARBOMONT, as well as the consistency of its final outputs.
