Sand Mitigation around Railway Tracks

Deliverables

Flyer and detailed programme of the second Client Colloquium

The flyer and detailed programme of the Client Colloquium on Receiver Sand Mitigation Measure(s) will be published. The Client Colloquium is devoted to increase the level of consciousness of the end-user clients to the challenges posed by sand hazards, to promote the industrial exploitation of the results, and to nurture the trained ERSs. The colloquium will be organized with potential end-user clients and policy-makers (e.g. Railway National Authorities in MENA region, European National Railway Engineering Companies).

Collection of minutes of Network Meetings

The outcome of the network meetings will be summarized in minutes disseminated throughout the network.

Career Development Plans

The Career Development Plans (CDPs) will be established jointly by the ESR and by the two supervisors within the first two months. The CDP will comprise the ESR's training and career needs, including planning for publications and participation in international conferences in agreement with the rules by the doctorate schools involved. The CDP will be clearly formulated and signed by the PhD candidate and their supervisors; afterward it will be approved by the Scientific Board.

Flyer and detailed programme of the first Client Colloquium

The flyer and detailed programme of the Client Colloquium on Path Sand Mitigation Measure(s) will be published. The Client Colloquium is devoted to increase the level of consciousness of the end-user clients to the challenges posed by sand hazards, to promote the industrial exploitation of the results, and to nurture the trained ERSs. The colloquium will be organized with potential end-user clients and policy-makers (e.g. Railway National Authorities in MENA region, European National Railway Engineering Companies).

Mid-Term Report

The Mid-term report will be submitted before the Mid-Term Network Meeting (NM3 in the Gantt Chart, see Annex 1B) takes place.

Consortium Agreement

The Consortium Agreement is signed by all the consortium components.

Awarding of doctoral degrees

The doctoral degrees is awarded to all ESRs.

Supervisory Board of the network

The Supervisory Board of the network is established

Report on the dissemination events

The report will list dissemination events participated by the ESRs during the programme.

Report on secondments and training on industrial aspects and transferable skills

The report will list the secondments of the ESRs during the second part of the programme devoted to Receiver Sand Mitigation Measures, focusing in particular on the training on industrial aspects and transferable skills.

Progress Report

The report describes the progress and current status of the project

Interim secondments and training report

The report will list the secondments of the ESRs during the first part of the programme devoted to Path Sand Mitigation Measures, focusing in particular on the training on industrial aspects and transferable skills.

Final report on conference communications and published papers

The report will list the conference communications and published scientific papers authored by the ERSs during the whole programme.
