Work Package 1 is responsible for coordinating the project from the administrative, technical and demonstration perspectives, aiming towards achieving effective operation of the project as well as timely delivery of quality results.

Among its tasks WP1 is responsible for the overall project management from an organizational, administrative, and financial point. Moreover, WP1 has to ensure that the Project meets its objectives and challenges with a high output quality. In particular, INETUM performed the project coordination by:

• Facilitating discussions among WPs;

• Reviewing deliverables, control of the final quality of all deliverables, specially focused on the easy-reading aspect, such for technical and non-technical documentation;
• Leading cross-WP technical discussions at meetings or during calls;
• Reporting status of activities and critical issues related to project management.

An additional task is intended to give support to the pilot sites in order to ensure their objectives are successfully executed. WP1 deals also with data protection and ethics; this task runs all along the project lifetime in order to ensure the respect of applicable legal provisions on privacy and data protection and to assess eventual ethical issues to increase trust in the solutions proposed.
