The Technical Coordination Committee coordinates the work of the different work packages (WP) and provides support during the implementation of technical aspects of project deliverables. It comprises the Coordinator and the work package leaders (WPLs) or their deputies of the construction, management and coordination WPs. Use case WPLs (WP6-10) are invited to participate in meetings of the committee throughout the duration of the project; their participation is mandatory during the tenure of their use case. Those BMS Research Infrastructures which are not already represented (via one of the WPs) may appoint a technical representative to sit on this committee. The committee is chaired by the Coordinator of the grant.
Tasks
- assess and report to the Executive Steering Committee on the progress of the work packages
- identify and prioritise future tasks for the following year.
- focus on the day-to-day and technical issues involved in achieving the planned deliverables and constructing the infrastructure.
Meetings and communication
The Technical Coordination Committee meets up to twice per year in person and holds monthly conference calls to deal with routine issues and resolve any urgent problems that may arise. The WPLs and deputies of each Work Package ensure good communication both within their WP and with the rest of the project through this committee.
