EURONS 1st annual report: Generalities (I)EURONS 1st annual report: Generalities (I) With an EC contribution of 14,056,000 € EURONS is a rather sizable contract. Such a project requires special care and dedicated measures of monitoring and control. These activities are pursued by the MANET Network. The challenge for the project management is not to be viewed by the scientific community as an additional administrative burden, but rather as a means of simplification and optimization.
The interface between the community and the project management is assured by the Project Coordination Committee (PCC), which is composed out of all Activity Co-ordinators.

EURONS 1st annual report: Generalities EURONS 1st annual report: Generalities (II)(II)
The project controlling was finalized and approved by the PCC during its first meeting in Funchal (Madeira, Portugal) in February 2005.
All activities have agreed on a common and streamlined approach. In particular, an Activity Information Sheet (AIS) has been developed for internal use to collect, display and monitor information and progress of the activities.
This standardized sheet allows easy electronic processing and analysis.
This further allows an easy integration into web-based information, which is anyhow EURONS' preferred information interchange platform (see http://www.gsi.de/EURONS).
