Can you briefly introduce yourself and your role in the MEASURED project?
Hello, my name is Beril Korkmaz Erdural, and I am the Project Manager in TUE in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry department. I am currently leading the execution activities of the MEASURED project in close collaboration with the Principal Investigator, Prof. Dr. Fausto Gallucci.
Could you provide an overview of your work package’s objectives, its importance within the MEASURED project, and the key goals, targets, or milestones you aim to achieve?
As the Project Manager overseeing Work Package 2 within the MEASURED Project, my primary objective is to ensure the successful planning, coordination, delivery of high quality outputs on time, stakeholder engagement and dissemination activities. This work package is critical to the overall success of the MEASURED Project because it directly supports as intermediary between the beneficiaries and the EC office as a project coordinator. TUE is also carrying out the contractual tasks related to the implementation of the EC contract and the project. TUE is leading execution activities of the project in terms of scope, time and budget. Our contributions serve as a foundation for other technical and strategic components.
What are the key achievements of your work package so far, and what are the next steps moving forward?
Quality management plan one of the important outpt of this work package. It shows how quality aspects are taken into account in a variety of process and activities within the MEASURED project. The purpose of this report is deliver value to the target beneficiaries, fulfil the requirements of the project sponsor, operate in an efficient and timely manner, and assist in the strategic-decision making during and after project lifetime. Additionally in the scope of WP2, establishment of Interim reports, technical and financial periodic report has been achieved.
How did you collaborate with other work packages? What has been the impact of this collaboration?
Internal WP meetings and technical project meetings are essential tools that require each partner to share updates on their ongoing and planned activities, as well as report on resource usage. Internal progress meetings are held monthly online, while technical committee meetings take place quarterly. The outcomes of these meetings contribute significantly to the preparation of periodic reports, helping to identify potential risks early and track the project’s progress toward its objectives. These reports will include two main sections:
- Introduction to the partners – a brief overview of the organizations involved.
- Work Progress and Deviations – a detailed account of the work carried out by each partner during the reporting period, including any deviations from the plan.
In addition, consortium meetings play a crucial role in enhancing communication and fostering awareness among all partners. These interactions help build strong relationships and promote a productive, collaborative working environment.
