This includes the assignment of roles and responsibilities that are of special importance to key players within the consortium. More specifically, BPA has been selected as Project Coordinator, KU Leuven and VUB are FERMI’s Legal and Ethics Advisors (with KU Leuven mostly focusing on data protection and VUB mostly lending their expertise on ethics), INTRA serves as the project’s Quality Manager overseeing that all outputs – in writing and otherwise – are conceptualised and, if applicable, also submitted and disseminated in accordance with high standards and in due course, the role of Technical Manager has been assigned to ITML that will coordinate the technical and innovation proceedings and LC steps in as Dissemination Manager in charge of getting FERMI’s key messages across. The role of the Work Package Leaders is briefly discussed too. Besides these key players within the consortium, the Project Management Playbook also lays out the duties of numerous committees and boards, including the Steering Committee (the key consultation body where all consortium members – under the stewardship of the Project Coordinator – will interact with one another to discuss the next steps and plan accordingly), the General Assembly, the Data and Knowledge Management Committee where the technical partners will coordinate under the leadership of the Technical Manager as well as the Security Advisory Board and the Ethics Advisory Board that will monitor all security and ethics proceedings. It is clarified that the consortium’s internal communication will take place in the form of in-person meetings, online discussions (to-be-held on Microsoft Teams) and a content management system (OwnCloud) and is to be facilitated by a common visual identity. Further project management building blocks that are described in this deliverable include the division of labour along the lines of the project’s Work Packages, deliverables and milestones (the latter two constitute key outputs that the above-mentioned partners
