Project management and supporting tools for partnership
At the first beginning, all partners signed a Cooperation Agreement between their institutes and the grant holder institution including budget allocation (December 2010 – January 2011)
A Kick-off-Meeting had been held in Febr/March 2011 for all partners to conduct an easy way for flow data, to create necessary committees and working groups and to propose a system of project management
A contact person was appointed for each partner institution Dividing responsibilities - all partners were involved to project activities Regular communication and appropriate dissemination Initial and specialised trainings and thematic workshops for
partners Continuous self-evaluation (questionnaires, round-table discussions...) A problem solving approach
TEMPUS 511390 – Environmental Governance for Environmental Curricula
Management of the projectThe general management is the task of:
The General Assembly – the consortium of all partners, which facilitates appropriate coordination and integration of key project results
Steering Committee (SC) was approved on March 1, 2011 during the Kick-off-Meeting (KoM). SC consists of 12 members (coordinator, coordination team leaders, selected WP leaders and co-leaders, and 2 external advisors
Contact persons for individual partner institutions Project and financial manager + Centre for Project Co-operation (P01) Leads, co-leads and working groups for individual work packages (WP1 –

General comments and recommendations
To elaborate and base a project proposal on of previous cooperation and practical experience with partners
To construct realistic goals in the project (see WP4 our example, where we overestimated the real possibilities)
To familiarize with the legislation, accreditation processes and expected changes in the partner countries
To avoid formal "partners" and create partnership, good management and enthusiastic atmosphere from the beginning
To find a good balance for the division of responsibilities between partners
To initiate a way for sustainability of project - further prospects (Erasmus Mundus, EU Framework programs)
To be prepared to solve all problems
