SeaBioMat is divided into 5 work packages and 3 main activity families : management, communication and research.
Work Package 1
Project management and coordination
Leader : Centexbel
WP1 aims to manage the project activities and ensure effective collaboration among the partners in the multi-disciplinary Consortium, throughout the duration of the project, by monitoring progress, by ensuring task objectives are achieved and milestones reached, by managing project finances, and by establishing communication channels inside and outside the SeaBioMat Consortium.
