Project information

It was assured that the Partner Agreement would be prepared in October since the Subsidy Contract had been signed already in Poland. First instalment of the grant will be 40% of the total amount granted.

The importance of the documentation (such as time-sheets to be filled regularly) and the assignment of administrative personnel were also emphasized. The project members present were seeking suitable tools for keeping documentation and contact quick, smooth and flawless. Skype, Dropbox were mentioned as the possible alternatives for different types of tasks.

The project members from Hungary demonstrated previous experiences regarding e-platform options. From the previous examples presented several variations can be considered, which will be decided by the partners later. The decision will be made at the next project meeting after the proposals of all participating universities will be discussed.

After that partners revised the structure of the project and agreed on the following final version of it:
