combination of natural and anthropogenic factors To assess how rapid environmental changes will affect the full range of goods

and services provided by the oceans To develop measures to mitigate or adapt to these changes.

Approach Research of cross-thematic nature, integrating in a coherent way marine and

maritime research domains in order to reach an impact that a single theme of the Cooperation programme could not attain on its own

Main Project Management IssuesMain Project Management Issues

1. Any significant changes can be accepted only after Commission agreement (amendment to the contract)

• Deviation from initial agreed scientific objectives• Changes in the partnership• Changes in participants (e.g. senior/ Ph students)• Subcontracting

2. Must be discussed with the SO before adoption

3. Generally an amendment request must be submitted for significant deviation from the Technical Annex

4. Extension requests can be accepted only in some specific cases. In such cases the final payment is accordingly delayed.

• Final reports to be submitted by coordinator 60 days after end of project– Publishable summary report, conclusions and socioeconomic impact– Covering wider societal implications and a plan on use and dissemination

of foreground

Reporting (cont.)Reporting (cont.)

• Commission has 105 days to evaluate and execute the corresponding payment
