Scope

Each partner has to nominate one representative that has the competence to make decisions for the respective institution. The steering group will work by virtual communication and assigning partner meetings. It is also responsible to solve conflicts (clauses will be fixed at the first meeting).
To ensure a high quality, the following tools and procedures will be implemented:

- Project Management Tools:
- Ongoing monitoring of the work done by the partner institutions by the means of reports delivered to the coordinator (quarterly);
- Ongoing financial controlling by the delivery of financial reports to the coordinator (quarterly).
The evaluation will focus on both the processes and the products. The development of the project must achieve the objectives and outcomes according to the work plan. The product evaluation will involve teacher and students / pupils in the development of the products. For this reason, several questionnaires will be provided (by P4 in WP4 for the HandBook, by P2 in WP6 for the Teacher Training Course, by P6 in WP7 for Teacher Training Course Pilot and by P5 in WP8 for HandBook and Digital Modules Pilot).
Evaluation reports will be delivered for all evaluation activities.
