2. Introduction This Roadmap is the blueprint of the METIS project, consolidating the work that has taken place

throughout the Preparation phase (Work Package 1), including the first METIS meeting. The objective is

to ensure that full and associated partners are on track with the implementation strategy and to

establish the work that will feed into work packages 2-8.

The roadmap is organized by work packages, providing a timeline of the activities for the 4-year cycle of

the project. This document complements existing project documentation:

• the Grant Agreement,

• Partnership Agreements,

• The minutes of the kick-off meeting of 18/19 November 2019 and of the second meeting of

November 2020 (deliverable 8.2).

Definition of the Internal Project Teams

The METIS management structure includes a Steering Board, a Project & Financial Management Unit, an

Operational Management Team and 8 Work Package Teams.

The METIS Steering Board, composed of one representative per partner, will provide strategic oversight

and remain updated on the progress of the project by the coordinator. The members of the METIS

Steering Board are:

EPPKA2-SSA-B

The Steering Board will decide on

• major amendments in the planning, tasks and budget,

• consortium management (associated partners)

• delays and contingency plans.

The coordinator will keep the members of the Steering Board updated via email, and through the

CIRCABC document repository, in which all members will have access. Other than the two physical

meetings a year, the coordinator will also organize monthly calls with the members of the Steering

Board, to update them on the progress of the project.

SEMI Europe, the coordinator and lead of WP8, will assume the functions of Project & Financial

Management. The team consists of:

Stefania Gavra, Public Affairs Manager – [email protected]

Maria Afsar, Manager, Government Projects – [email protected]

The coordinating team is responsible for project management and reporting to EACEA, people

management and administrative & financial management for METIS.

The Operational Management Team (OMT) will safeguard the technical content-related progress of the

project. It is composed of the WP leaders and the coordinator. The coordinator will organize ad hoc

physical or virtual meetings with the WP leaders depending on the needs of the project.

The Work Package Teams (WPT) are assigned with the implementation of the project.

The Work Package Teams are to be agreed internally by each partner and communicated to the

coordinator. The complete list of WP teams will be uploaded in CIRCABC and will be included in D8.3

Project Management Plan. In case of staff changes, the partners will inform the coordinator as soon as

possible.

EPPKA2-SSA-B

Internal communication systems The partners will meet physically every 6 months, with the exact date of the meetings depending on the

needs and the progress of the project. The indicative months when the meetings will take place are: M1,

M8, M15, M23, M32, M41 and M48.

An online document repository is established on CIRCABC. All Steering Board members have access to

the project’s materials that will be uploaded there. SB members can also grant access to CIRCABC to

their colleagues, after informing the coordinator.

Moreover, the coordinator will update the METIS Steering Board via email and monthly Skype calls. The

Skype calls will take place indicatively in the last 10 days of each month (to be defined on a case-by-case

basis) and the WP leaders will update the respective WP teams via email and calls as they see fit.

Launching and coordination of the various project plans By the end of M3 (January 2020), three project plans will be delivered: The Quality Control Plan (WP5,

lead partner CIMEA), the Dissemination & Exploitation Plan (WP6, lead partner SEMI) and the Project

Management Plan (WP8, lead partner SEMI).

The lead partners of the above-mentioned WPs will circulate the first draft version of the Plans to the

WP team by 10th January 2020. The plans will have the form of a report, following the METIS deliverable

template. The second draft of the Plans will be circulated to the WP teams and the METIS Steering Board

by 20th January 2020. The three Plans will be finalized by 31st January 2020.

CIMEA will also take the lead in establishing the External Quality Committee composed of associated

partners.

Mobilizing associated partners and policy counterparts Currently, there are 28 associated partners in METIS. Partners are invited to mobilize associated

partners that would be suited to participate in the project (associations, umbrella organisations, civil

society, industry, VET systems representatives, etc.) and alert the coordinator. Discussion on prospective

associated partners will take place in the calls and meetings of the METIS Steering Board (the first

discussion will be part of the January 2020 Steering Board call).

Associated Partners will stay informed about the public outcomes of the project (i.e. events, press

releases), which they will be free and encouraged to disseminate through their online and offline

channels. Moreover, the associated partners, as members of the External Advisory Group, will provide

specific feedback on the implementation of the project (WP5). Associated partners will also be involved

in the Test & Validation phase of the METIS training (WP4) and as stakeholders in the Microelectronics

Observatory and Skills Council (WP8).

4. METIS Roadmap per Work Package The roadmap includes a short overview of each WP, and a timeline of tasks (in white boxes) and

deliverables (in grey boxes). You can find the corresponding calendar months in the table annexed to

this document.

Work Package 2 (EU Sectoral Skills Strategy, Skills Anticipation and Monitoring)

In WP2 the partners will develop the microelectronics sector skills strategy to support the objectives of

the established growth strategy for the sector. To accomplish this, the partners will identify the major

trends affecting jobs and skills needs in the sector, develop a common methodology to assess the

current situation and anticipate future skills needs, define and/or develop occupational profiles with

corresponding skills and competences and set up continuous and robust monitoring on a yearly basis.

Work Package 4 (METIS Training Delivery: Validation and Fine-Tuning)

During the WP4, the partners will test and validate in real-life scenarios the METIS Curricula and Training

developed in WP3 in real-life scenarios, to check their effectiveness against the outcomes of WP2

(Occupational profiles and Skills Strategy). The validation will lead to the final version of the METIS

curriculum and training, based on feedback of users in both VET and industry at both trainers’ and

trainees’ levels.

The testing will be carried out by all industry and academia partners, as well as by associated partners –

aiming at least at 900 users.
