WPM.2 - Administrative Management

Objectives
This WP is paired with WPM.1 to ensure correct operation and management of the whole NoE. Whilst WPM.1 is focused on the scientific contents of the activity, with a special view on auditing and (scientific) quality assurance, this WPM.2 aims at coordinating all of the administrative operations of the network, making sure that all the relevant activities, as well as reporting about the NoE administrative matters to the Commission, are carried out in due time. A set of guidelines to ensure that all partners follow the same administrative, financial and project management rules, will also be prepared and made available on the NoE website.
In parallel to the activities that are due towards the Commission, the WP will also setup and maintain a periodical internal auditing procedure on eligible costs to prevent unbalance of expenditures in time and across partners. In addition to auditing, this WP will also propose corrective actions for under-performing or under- and over-spending partners to be approved by the NEWCOM++ ExBoard.
