=== Task NA1.3 Quality and Risk Management  ===

(Leader: EGI.eu, M1 - M30) 

<br> 

The objective of this task – led by the AFC – is to perform risk management, ensure the monitoring and assessment of progress and results across the project. The task leader will coordinate work involving the activity managers to ensure the delivery and adherence to a quality plan that will define the project’s main quality processes. Activities include the preparation of deliverables, internal reviews, periodic reviews and post-review follow-up, activity-specific processes, basic rules for EGI-Engage publications, practicalities concerning the functioning of the management boards, as well as the tools and metrics that will be applied in many of these processes. This task will perform risk identification and analysis impacting the EGI-Engage project, and measure the project’s progresses across activity areas (i.e., networking, service, joint research). Most of the partners in EGI-Engage are organisations with an established policy of equal gender opportunities. The EGI-Engage management is committed to ensure equal opportunity, according to EU rules and guidelines, when hiring the new project staff. In parallel, the project coordinator will strive to keep the institutions that are part of the consortium positively motivated towards gender issues by raising awareness at management level.
