Introduction

Consortium management and coordination (WP1)

In WP1 the ERN Research Working Group (ERN RWG) that forms the executive board will oversee the research active ERN community. Awareness-generation will be key in this action so that all patients and health care providers are aware of the existence of ERICA and its capabilities. To ensure that the large number of health care providers linked to ERNs are reached and actively engaged an interactive web-based platform will be installed in WP6. This platform will serve as a single, easy-access platform containing all existing and future information pertaining to RD research and innovations.

This WP includes general, administrative, financial, scientific, risk, and legal management of ERICA. The coordinator will ensure the efficient and effective coordination and management of the action. Next to administrative coordination this WP also entails scientific management.
