Deliverables

Documents, reports (5)

Appointment of the Security Advisory Board (SAB)

The consortium must submit as a deliverable due in month 1 of the project: (i) the SAB appointment letter indicating the names, nationality, profession, and areas of competences of the SAB members; (ii) as well as concise CVs describing the SAB members’ relevant experience on the security issues and research area.The SAB members should have the appropriate security clearance. The role of the SAB is to review, throughout the project, the project deliverables, in order to assess whether they include any security sensitive information, propose their classification, declassification, etc and other timely measures for preventing the misuse of such information.
