Risk and Contingency Plan

The PC will carefully observe any potential conflicts and risks related to both scientific delivery and the participants’ contractual obligations. Any conflict will be dealt with immediately and with the appropriate measures. With the assistance of the legal team at SSI, the coordinator will negotiate a Consortium Agreement (CA) with all participants prior to project start. This will ensure that all the participants are aware of their rights and obligations as well as processes for conflict resolution. The project’s identified risks will be monitored carefully, and if any issues should occur, these will be dealt with in a timely and efficient manner, taking all necessary precautions and steps to mitigate the risks. Moreover, the initial contingency plan will be updated annually by the Scientific Core Group, comprised of all WP leaders to ensure that it remains relevant and useful.
