Organization



Network Coordinator
He/she acts as an interface with the European Commission, coordinates the work of the Steering Committee in scientific matters and is assisted by a Principal Administrative Manager for administrative matters.


Team Coordinator
He/she coordinates the scientific activities of his/her team, is assisted by an Administrative Manager in team administrative matters, and is a member of the Steering Committee. He is responsible for the organisation and the management of the Network.


Training Coordinator
He/she monitors and coordinates the activities related to the training task and is a member of the Steering Committee. Because of the particular importance of the training, a person is needed with a great experience and knowledge about possible difficulties which can be encountered in the coordination of the training activities.


Steering Committee
The Steering Committee plays a crucial role in the organization of the scientific activities in the Network (young researchers, research and training tasks, conferences, workshops etc.). It meets at least once every six months, monitors and coordinates the activities and is responsible for a rapid start of all activities at the very beginning of the Project. To keep the organisation as efficient as possible, only the team coordinators and the training coordinator are part of the Steering Committee. The team coordinators have been chosen such that sufficient expertise is present in the Steering Committee to monitor and coordinate the activities in each task. The Steering Committee is responsible for a periodic transmission of all relevant information to the European Commission, in particular of the Mid-Term Review and the Final Report, taking into account the number of young researchers appointed, the level of mobility in the network, the efficiency of the organization and management, the exchange of information within the network, and the quality of the results obtained.


Principal Administrative Manager
He/she acts closely with the Network Coordinator in administrative matters of the Network and keeps contacts with the Administrative Managers of the teams.


Information via the web
Information, within and outside the Network, will be exchanged electronically, in particular through the web. The web-server of the Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo `M. Picone'' in Rome will dedicate a page to the network with links to each team, containing relevant information (open positions for young researchers, workshops, conferences etc). Electronic communication will be extensively used, open positions for young researchers will be widely advertised, also through newsletters of mathematical societies, for example, and an electronic preprint service will be available.


Mentors of young researchers
Every young researcher will have an experienced member of the team appointed as his/her mentor; the mentor will be responsible for stimulating the integration of the young researcher into the activities of the team, providing the relevant local and Network information and supervising his/her research activities.
