Project Management.

Mr. Aggouris George will be assigned as Overall Project Manager (PM) responsible for the overall organization and co-ordination of the project activities and components, ensuring a day-to-day supervision through the continuous communication and collaboration with the other PBs (email, Skype, Dropbox, Google Drive, Google docs, Doodle, etc.). The Project Manager (PM) will be responsible for WP1, the project’s coordination and for reporting regularly to the Programme authorities.
In the HEALTH-INFO context, three
Task Force meetings will be held, where all arising problems and any lagging on implementation will be discussed and managed by LPMs (Steering Group). The steering group discusses and officially approves all project relevant implementation rules, working plans, progress reports and financial issues. Controlling, monitoring, and evaluation of the project’s activities is also ensured by the steering group.
