EC Reviews. EC reviews will be organised to present the project results at regular intervals to the European Commission and their independent experts. This enables the Commission to monitor the project and to ensure that the contractual obligations are fulfilled. Additionally, future project plans are discussed and agreed within such a meeting. The annual payment to the project will be processed if the outcome of the annual EC Review is considered satisfactory. EC Reviews will be called by the EC Project Officer, and they are scheduled to take place every year.
EC Reviews. The project will, in the normal course of events, be reviewed mid-project (Month 15 - August 2017) and at the end of the project. The Commission, together with independent expert reviewers will have advanced access to the deliverables produced in the reporting period.
