5.1 Quantitative Indicators of progress and success to be used to monitor the project

5.1.1    Research Activities

In reporting on progress with the implementation of its research plan the fellowship will provide information and data on the following:

5.1.2    Transfer of knowledge activities

When reporting on progress with the implementation of its ToK Plan the host fellowship organisation will provide information and data on the following:

·         the rate of recruitment of experienced researchers and also where appropriate for each partner (ratio person-months filled/offered)

·         the nature and justification for adjustments, if any, to the original overall number of person-months for experienced researchers

·         the time and duration of each individual appointment.

·         the number and level of involvement of senior researchers directly associated with the supervision of the recruited experienced researchers (at each partner)

·         attendance at  fellowship meetings, workshops and conferences by the experienced researchers (number, names, place, date)

5.2.1    Research Activities 

In reporting on progress with the implementation of its research plan the host fellowship organisation will provide information and data on the following:

·         general progress with research activities programmed

·         highlights on more particularly innovative developments (novel concepts, approaches, methods and / or products)

·         nature and justification for adjustments, if any, to the original research work plan and/or timetable

·         scientific community recognition of the fellowship research contribution (awards, invitation to conferences)

5.2.2    Transfer of knowledge activities

In reporting on progress with the implementation of its training plan and ToK the fellowship will provide information and data on the following:

·         nature and justification for adjustments, if any, to the original ToK plan and/or timetable (e.g. opportunities for new collaborations)
