Contingency Plan (opens in new window)

The coordination team is responsible for drafting and maintaining a plan for risk management (contingency plan). Estimation and anticipation of potential risks shall be a regular topic at each Operations Team meeting. Should risks be identified, mitigation planning can be accelerated and be quickly put into action.

Data Management Plan (opens in new window)

VECTOR not only handles data from different partner, but also aims to share knowledge and data openly with the public. IPR and data management are considered an integral part of project management. A data management plan will therefore be elaborated to manage these matters. It will be continuesly updated in month 20 and 32.

SAi and machine learning (opens in new window)

Report on SAi 2.0 and its integration in Machine Learning.Enhance the Social Acceptance index (SAi) that was developed in INFACT (SAZ, SRK). SAi 2.0 will highlight the potential benefits of a mining project to areas through determining opportunities for shared value.

Impact metrics (opens in new window)

(M6 and ongoing updates) A set of fit-for-purpose impact metrics will be developed to trigger updates as necessary to these critical project documents based on the changing context within Europe.

Quality Plan (opens in new window)

A quality management plan describing guidelines for formal quality management will be detailed and put in place at the start of the project. The operations team (coordination team and WP leaders) defines performance indicators in order to evaluate various aspects of overall performance. The indicators, and thus project performance, will be assessed ona regular basis.

Shared values report (opens in new window)

Report on shared values: definitions and drivers in an EU context and regional variations

Integr. into EU-level decision making (opens in new window)

Mechanisms of the website will include intuitive access to all relevant information concerning the project (purpose, vision, team, key deliverables, key events, live webinars, tools).

Hand-over event (opens in new window)

A final hand-over event will be organized to ensure that outputs from all WPs have maximum impact and end users receive full ownership.

Kick-off meeting (opens in new window)

A kick-off meeting will be held with project partners and the project officer to officially start the project, communicate main administrative information and to generate decisions about first work steps as an outcome. The meeting will be held either face-to-face, hybrid or online.

This will be supplemented by regular interactive webinars and online workshops (M15, M26) during which outputs and concepts developed by the project will be tested with end users and influencers. All webinars will be recorded, edited and shared on the website as a long-term repository for learning.
