WORKPLAN

The workplan consists of a Methodological Phase (months 0-6), an Experimental Phase (months 9-24) and a Validation Phase (months 25-34). Seven WorkPackages have been developed. The function of each is distinct, but provides outputs relevant to other WPs.  One workpackage is dedicated to project management and another to dissemination and consultation activities.

The workplan is structured into workpackages.  Each of the research workpackages (WP1, 2, 3 and 4) approach separate parts of the research question. The results of each of these workpackages have implications for the direction of the subsequent ones. The project is scheduled for 36 months with a “long, thin” workpackage (WP0) devoted to management functions (including administration and financial procedures) (see Figure 1).
