Work Package 6

The main focus of WP6 will be to integrate the work of the other WPs and to secure simple information flow between the WPs and to and from FACCE-JPI and INTENSE. Lead coordinator of INTENSE (Dr. Arne Sæbø) will spend about 50% of his time on the coordination and Research in INTENSE. In addition, a secretary at NIBIO Særheim will help with practical tasks related to the coordination. A leader group will consist of two persons from each partner and with at least three stake holders participating in the project. The coordinator will be the contact point between FACCE-JPI and INTENSE. Important topics are leading the INTENSE project, managing, establish good communication lines between the project and FACCE-JPI, running dissemination, reporting and auditing in due time and according to FACCE-JPI rules. The central NIBIO economy department will be used to secure that expenditure is in accordance with the rules from FACCE-JPI and our national laws and rules.
