3. Project management during M25-M39

Project management during the last period aimed at strengthening the cooperation work of the partners for finalizing the tools and technologies delivered. This coordination was mainly achieved through the creation of a Google group for the MOLTO project: all members of the Consortium have been subscribed to it.

A major issue has been the relocation of the project manager Olga Caprotti to the partner node UPC for the period 1 March 2013 - 11 June 2013. This was made necessary by national Swedish regulations that prevent hiring on temporary positions for longer than 2 years (she had already used a 1-year long non-renewable temporary post as a visiting researcher). A part of the funding has been transferred to UPC to cover the costs of hiring Dr. Caprotti until the end of the project.

The use of resources has undergone some internal shift among work-packages in order to cover extra work that had become necessary due to initial delays and to personnel turnover. Where appropriate, they are documented case by case in the work-package reports.

As reported in Deliverable D1.6, followup actions after the annual review included discussions within the Consortium on how to organize a better showcase for the final results of the project and in addressing the reviewers' remarks and suggestions. Updated versions of some deliverables were produced and made available on the website.

Here below we address each comment in the review.
