First Periodic Report

Hello,

Ci-dessous le sommaire du first periodic report soumis dans le cadre d'Infrastar.
89 pages au total (j'ai laissé les numéros de page ci-dessous pour donner une idée des longueurs).
Et ensuite la feuille de route (mail envoyé aux membres du consortium) si ça peut aider.

FEUILLE DE ROUTE


Dear Work Package Leaders, dear Beneficiaries/Supervisors,

Below are important information about your contributions to be included in the deliverable "D5.4 - Draft periodic report". The report will be reviewed by the project officer as well as the external expert in order to prepare the mid-term review meeting (the external expert is not known yet).

Your contributions will be part of the core of the report (paragraph "Explanation of work & Overview of progress"). The report details the work carried out per Work Package by the beneficiaries during the reporting period (i.e. from the beginning of the project up to now) ; it gives an overview of the project results towards the objective (including a summary of deliverables and milestones) and a summary of exploitable results (with an explanation about how they can/will be exploited). It should demonstrate the achievements in relation to the initial objectives described in Annex 1 of the Grant Agreement. There is no page limit per work package - but your report should be concise and readable.

The deliverable "D5.4 - Draft periodic report" is due by April 30.

Here is a suggested way to do so:
Each beneficiary, i.e. each supervisor, writes a summary (work carried out, results, progress, future work, list of publications -done and future, figure(s) are welcome) to be sent to the respective work package leader (cc infrastar@ifsttar.fr) in order to help him to write an overall overview of his WP. Then, the WP leaders send their report (summaries of the supervisors + overall overview of WP) to infrastar@ifsttar.fr by Monday 23 April.
If all agree, I would therefore suggest that each beneficiary/supervisor sends their contribution to the respective WP leader at the latest on Monday 16 April.

Finally, please find attached the working document "INFRASTAR_D5.4_Draft-periodic-report_IFSTTAR_v00.docx" with the paragraphs to be filled in. Note that the name of each project is the one of the Annex 1 ; in case of change, this must be explained.
Also, for each WP, the deliverables and the milestones are compiled to ease your task, and, for each project, the objectives, the tasks & methodology, and the expected results (from the Annex 1) are listed for your convenience.

Pour info. Dans les livrables, nous avions un draft du periodic report à envoyer avant le mid-term meeting (à l'époque M24). C'est ce livrable dont il est question au-dessus (mais identique au periodic report).

Good luck & have fun (-:
