PROJECT COORDINATION AND MANAGEMENT
The Project Management Handbook is an important guideline and a useful shared source of
key information for the ADMAIORA partners.
It describes the agreed management structure, highlighting the related governance, tasks,
roles, and procedures. Furthermore, it illustrates all the tools used by the coordinator and the
managers to effectively monitor and steer the project activities, which are properly
summarized.
It also takes the opportunity to clarify possible matters arising from the grant agreement and
its annexes.
In conclusion, it provides those practical information that shall be referred to throughout the
project life, guiding partners within all the ADMAIORA administrative documents and all the
Management decisions took at the very first stage of the project.
