Work Package 4 – Project ManagementProject management is concerned with overall project issues and the core activity ofcommunications - both internal and external.

COMMUNICATIONS events in year one have included 3major project meetings –

• One concentrating on junior researchers introducingthemselves and their work.• One which involved both project and guest speakers,(both research and industry) from the UK and Europe• One where discussions with our advisory panel wasthe main topic.
