Page for Work Package 1 - Ice2sea Management
The role of the management is to facilitate the science and remove as many management tasks from the project scientists as possible, maximizing their ability to focus on scientific deliverables. At the same time the management group, the ice2sea Programme Office, will provide an appropriate level of performance monitoring to highlight early on any difficulties and potential obstacles to timely competition of Deliverables, to the ice2sea Steering Committee, and to the Commission.
