• the project aims are achieved
• the project is managed according to budget planning
• Excellence & quality assurance is maintained throughout the duration of the project
• Stakeholders, including the European Commission, are informed fully about the progress of the project and about its results and impact
• A process for the identification and engagement of stakeholders will be agreed at the Kick off meeting.
• A format for a Project Stakeholder Consent form will be discussed at the Kick off meeting. A template consent form will be prepared by M2 of the project.

These objectives will be achieved through:

• Development of a project management plan and a risk register
• Establishing procedures, administering meetings and effective means of internal communication
