This WP will establish procedures and collect data so to assure the orderly development of the Project and the achievement of Project aims and results. Project quality assurance, inspired to the ISO9001 methodology, will be based on previous setting of effective procedures and control of respect of procedures and deadlines.

Quality assurance measures will be described in the Handbook for Quality Assurance that is part of the contracts signed by Coordinator with each partner. The Handbook will list the main procedures for quality assurance and also specify for each task: who is in charge of it, how it will be accomplished, when, what are the expected results or products, quality criteria.

An external project Evaluator and a Scientific director will be appointed.
The External Evaluator will check project management and development and point out incurred problems and advice on possible solutions; he/she will produce 4 reports.

The Scientific Director will check, suggest improvements and approve the two Guides and website structure and content. P1, with European Commission approval, can assign at will to other Partners tasks (and related budget) that a Partner fails to deliver in time or in requested quality.
