Deliverable 9.1 Coordination and Management Plan

0. Introduction This deliverable will provide with the detailed plan on the actions concerning the general coordination and management of the HEIRRI project inside its WP9, led by UPF. This document is structured by the tasks and subtasks assigned to WP9, together with a final section with conclusions, a summary and attached documents as annexes.

1. Project management and administration Project management strategy and procedures As stated in the Description of Action (DoA), main decisions about HEIRRI management and coordination are taken by Project Executive Committee (PEC), which represents the maximum authority within the project Consortium. A Coordination Team (CT), chaired by the Project Coordinator, gives support to PEC and acts as main interlocutor with the European Commission (EC), as well as with the individual Consortium members. Three Advisory Boards (explained later), give support to PEC and contribute to the decisions about specific parts of HEIRRI activities. An open and multi-stakeholder Forum (HEIRRI Forum), with online and offline instruments, completes the structure, contributing to the development of substantial parts of HEIRRI activities as well as their communication and internationalization. AEESTI / Ecsite, as coordinator of WP1, guarantees demands and recommendations from HEIRRI Forum reach PEC. Coordination Team (CT) CT is responsible for the day-to-day HEIRRI management and coordination, gives support to PEC and is the main interlocutor with the EC via the Project Coordinator. The CT is composed of 5 people from UPF:  Project Coordinator, expert in public engagement and RRI  Expert in Education Research  Expert in e-Learning and learning technologies  Expert in business and entrepreneurship  Project Manager. Project Executive Committee (PEC) The Project Executive Committee (PEC) was formally constituted at the Kick-off Meeting (M1) celebrated in Barcelona on September 16th, 2015. The PEC includes all Consortium Partners, with one representative from each organization: Gema Revuelta from UPF, Niels Mejlgaard from AU, Roger Strand from UiB, Erich Grießler from IHS (when delegating, Alexander Lang), Ana Marusic from UNIST, Catherine Franche from ECSITE, Ignasi López from FBLC (when delegating, Daniel García), Nadja Gmelch from ACUP, and Erika Sela from INNOVATEC. The HEIRRI Project Coordinator is the PEC Chairperson. The PEC meets at least 3 times a year (a total of 9 PEC meetings for the whole project). Regarding the organization of PEC meetings:

When a PEC meeting is being organized in one of the European cities, the CT gives support in its organization. Any topic requested to the project manager by a PEC member at least two months before the meeting, is automatically included in its agenda. The project manager circulates the agenda at least one month before the meeting. Minutes of the meeting are produced by project manager within 2 weeks and circulated amongst members.

Reports and Deliverables Coordination The CT will be in close and direct contact with Consortium members. The Project Manager will send a reminder to the partners in charge of a Report or Deliverable one month before such document is due. In case one Consortium member could not produce the requested document in time, such member should notify the Project Manager as soon as possible. Financial and administrative issues UPF will be in charge of mantaining a financial overview of the project and administer the financial contribution from the EC to partners.

Summarising, in the HEIRRI project, there are: - 12 PEC meetings (9 of which are face-to-face and 3 are online) - 2 HEIRRI conferences (first and final) Project archives UPF will be in charge of keeping all deliverables of the project and guarantees their custody. All deliverables of the HEIRRI project will be available in Open Access through the RRI Tools platform, so Consortium members or anyone interested in consulting them. During the project, UPF will open a Dropbox folder (or similar) to share preliminary documents or draft versions among Consortium members. Quarterly reviews with Project Adviser UPF is the partner in charge of providing quarterly informal reviews to the Project Adviser. These reviews will consist of an overview of the project, highlighting any special event happened in-between quarterly reviews and pointing out deliverables produced and milestones achieved. Updating the contact list UPF, together with the contribution of ACUP (partner in charge of Communication and Dissemination) are the partners in charge of updating the HEIRRI contact list. Every new version of the list is circulated among Consortium members, open to additions and correction. The HEIRRI project does not have a specific intranet to share communications among all partners. Instead, Consortium members can use the mailing list â&#x20AC;&#x153;HEIRRI@googlegroups.comâ&#x20AC;? for internal communication matters.

Contractual documents and contract amendments UPF is the partner in charge of maintaining contractual documents and managing â&#x20AC;&#x201C;where applicableâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; contract amendments. Monitoring certificates on financial statements UPF is the partner in charge of monitoring certificates on financial statements in order to guarantee that all partners submit their financial reports. UPF collects all financial reports and sends the final version to the EC.

2. Quality assurance Work package leaders will be in charge of the quality control in their work package. UPF will oversee all outputs of the project; manage a bimonthly internal review and quality control; update the risk plan; monitor the project progress and the production of deliverables. Bimonthly internal review and quality control UPF will contact Consortium members bimonthly for an internal review and quality control. This internal review will be done by email or phone, checking on the good procedure of partners, solving questions and assisting in anything possible. Moreover, UPF, as Coordinator, will be the partner in charge of reading all Deliverables before submitting them to the Participants Portal. Therefore, UPF will be the one assessing if each of the Deliverables meets the quality required and is ready to be submitted to the System. A part of that, Formative and Summative Evaluations (WP8) will also accomplish a quality control function, in this case of the work done by the Consortium and its alignment with HEIRRI objectives. Risk plan The risk plan can be found in Part A of the DoA, under the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;1.3.5 WT5 Critical implementation risks and mitigation actionsâ&#x20AC;?. UPF is the partner in charge of updating this section if needed. These are the six risks identified in the DoA: 0. A partner is unable to produce their work on time (WP1, WP2, WP3, WP4, WP5, WP6, WP7, WP8,WP9) Regular contact should be held between the project coordinator and the partners. If the risk is noticed as serious, early remedial action will be taken, e.g., either to have another representative from the partner organization to undertake or assist in the production of the work or, in extreme cases, the work may need to be taken away from the partner and another existing or new partner will be installed to take over. 1. A partner is unable to work effectively with other partners and/or stakeholders (WP1, WP2, WP3, WP4, WP5, WP6, WP7, WP8, WP9) The project coordinator will immediately step in and explore the problemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nature. If it becomes

apparent that the individual partner is not suited for performing the task, remedial action of the type mentioned above may need to be taken. 2. A partner is unable to produce sufficiently high quality to be acceptable to the other partners and/or the Commission (WP1, WP2, WP3, WP4, WP5, WP6, WP7, WP8, WP9) As above, but this is an extremely improbable risk, taking into account that all partners have produced numerous deliverables on time in the past, and have excellent (peer reviewed) publication records. 3. A partner takes the decision to leave the Consortium (WP1, WP2, WP3, WP4, WP5, WP6, WP7, WP8, WP9) In this event, the PEC will develop a contingency plan that splits up the remaining tasks of the partner among the other partners, and explores the possibility of finding a new partner that can take over the tasks. 4. Activities do not reach enough numbers of participants (WP1, WP2, WP3, WP4, WP5, WP6, WP7, WP8, WP9) The PEC will work together with the multi-stakeholder HEIRRI Forum to reassess the communication and dissemination strategy of the project and will provide new strategies to reach different publics. 5. If problems arise concerning the budget during the project and hinder the continuity of it (WP1, WP2, WP3, WP4, WP5, WP6, WP7, WP8, WP9) The project coordinator will examine all the possible measures that could to be carried out and will assume the responsibility in a case of a situation of this type. Monitor the project progress and deliverable production UPF will monitor the progress of the project and deliverable production via email and telephone calls with Consortium members, but PEC meetings will be especially relevant for this purpose. Information collected will be transmitted to the Project Adviser during the quarterly reviews maintained regularly, and also whenever it is considered necessary to guarantee the proper development of the project.

3. Research ethics and data management plan The Research ethics and data management plan consists of the implementation of a strategy and monitoring mechanism for the required approvals for ethics committees/authorities and for informed consent forms when required, the development of a project plan for research ethics, including for ensuring privacy and confidentiality of participants, and of the management of the data protection and data storage plan. As stated in the DoA, in the HEIRRI project there are two situations that require Ethics considerations: Firstly, the fact that task 5.1 of WP5 (Pilot testing experiences) includes surveys on educational interventions with healthy volunteers (students and academic professionals, and the general public). The evaluation will be conducted in established and educational settings, and will involve normal education practices. The research will involve the use of educational tests, survey procedures, and observation of public behaviour and the information obtained will be recorded in such a manner that human subjects cannot be identified, directly or indirectly, and that the disclosure of obtained responses outside of the research will not place the subjects at risk or be damaging to the subject. Secondly, task 4.2 of WP4 (Production of Materials) involves, among others, the elaboration of video materials. The content of videos will address issues related to education and good practices on Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), but their specificities will be defined once the project starts. The recording of these videos will be made following established Ethics considerations and with participants that will have freely signed an Informed Consent document. It should be also noted that measures to protect the videos and their safe keeping include: (a) access to the video footage will only be permitted to authorized personnel (although finished videos of the HEIRRI project will be in Open Access); (b) all videos will be watermarked in a non-reversible way in order to safe guard the minors, and this even if Informed Consent has been obtained. Documents to be provided: -

Document of the evaluation protocol To be submitted to the REA in M3 Informed Consent document To be submitted to the REA in M10 Authorisation for collecting and processing data To be submitted to the REA in M10 Authorisation from guardian/legal representative of minors To be submitted to the REA in M10

Information sheet addressed to guardian/legal representative of minors To be submitted to the REA in M10

As explained in the DoA, the HEIRRI project will guarantee the following aspects: -

Data collection: People participating in HEIRRI activities will decide whether they want their personal details to be recorded and saved. In the case that they allow their data to be used, they will have to sign an Informed Consent document. Data will be collected by the beneficiary responsible of each local activity organized. Data will be collected and processed only if and insofar as it is really necessary. The sampling methods or recruitment procedures will be done in such a way that they do not result in discriminatory practices.

Data storage: Personal data will be safely-kept by the project beneficiary in charge of each local activity. In case of publishing, and for the results obtained, no personal information will be made public.

Data protection: Beneficiaries will be responsible to safely keep the data collected by their performed activities. Data protection will be ensured through current legal regulation. Respect for people and for human dignity, fair distribution of research benefits and burden and protecting the values, rights and interests of the research participants will be ensured.

Data destruction: Destruction of personal data will be done 10 years after the end of the project, following the document “Code of good scientific practice” (p.43) (access via: https://www.prbb.org/system/uploads/attachment/file/3/ca/CBPC_PRBB_CAT_CAST_ENG.PDF (last visit: 14/04/15), “all original primary information (…) arising from a research project must be stored for a minimum of 10 years from the date of the first publication of the results, except in those cases in which the law allows shorter storage periods or requires longer periods to be applied”. This document is the Ethics guide of good practices of the building where Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) is located.

The procedures implemented for data collection, storage, protection, retention and destruction will be designed in accordance to ethical principles and also to applicable international, EU and national law (in particular, EU Directive 95/46/EC): “under this Directive, personal data must be processed according to certain principles and conditions that aim to limit the impact on the persons concerned and ensure data quality and confidentiality”.

4. Advisory Boards general coordination Consortium members that co-chair advisory boards will provide to UPF information and updating reports from their boards. They also guarantee that Boards are adequately informed and their recommendations taken into account on the respective work package. There are three Advisory Boards: - Multidisciplinary Contents Council (MCC) - Business & Entrepreneurship Advisory Board (BEAB) - Science Communication & Internationalization Advisory Board (SCIAB) Each one with specific aims, tasks and responsibilities, gives support to PEC and contributes to the decisions about specific parts of HEIRRI activities. All those three Boards are constituted by complementary teams of internal (consortium members delegates) and external experts (invited by Consortium members). ADVISORY BOARDS

Multidisciplinary Contents Council (MCC)

communication and public engagement, SC-SM international networks, media, organizations such as PCST, EUSEA, etc. External experts from HEI international networks and organizations (UNESCO, EC, editors of science journals, etc.)

All Consortium Members have an active role within the 3 Advisory Boards and work together with external experts: -

Internal Experts. All consortium members (except Partner 9) nominate 1 or 2 delegates from their institution to be part in at least 2 of those 3 boards. Delegates participate in (online and offline) meetings, share their knowledge, take decisions and contribute with all tasks assigned to the Board, working with the external members and following the internal rules that each board has marked on the first 3 months after their constitution.

External Experts. All consortium members suggest names of experts and organizations to be invited to be part of each respective Board. The specific composition of the 3 Boards is decided by PEC before M6. Fees and travel costs of external experts will be distributed in a proportionate way among HEI organizations and international networks consortium members with the aim that small groups of internal and external experts could closely work within the tasks of their respective Boards. AU, UiB, IHS and UNIST cover 3 external experts each of them, while ACUP and UPF will cover 6 external experts. Each external expert will receive 3000â&#x201A;Ź to cover their work and travel to at least one HEIRRI conference. A Terms of Reference (ToR) document (attached to this document in the Annexes), elaborated by UPF, will estate the specific terms of their work.

Boards co-chairing. Each Board is co-chaired by an internal and an external expert. Specific names of external and internal co-chairs will be decided by M6. Internal Co-chairs will act as intermediaries between their Boards and PEC.

In order to synthesize the input of the three Boards so that it can provide direction and objective review over the project lifetime, the following actions will be implemented:

Online and face-to-face meetings will take place. The specific calendar will be in accordance to the PEC meetings calendar. These meetings will be called by the co-chairs of every Board.

The two co-chairs will be responsible of gathering recommendations and amendments from the respective Advisory Boards and make sure they reach the respective WP leaders.

The internal co-chair of every Board will share such input during PEC meetings. As stated previously, internal co-chairs will act as intermediaries between their Boards and PEC, to ensure that the input of each Board reaches all Consortium partners. And since PEC meetings will take place regularly along the three years of the project, the input of the Boards will be shared in time to provide direction and objective review.

A specific evaluation questionnaire will be designed to be given to all members of Advisory Boards in order to know how they perceive that their opinions and recommendations are being integrated into the HEIRRI development.

5. Working plan The working plan for WP9 was established well at the beginning of the project. During the kick-off meeting, on September 16th 2015, the following calendar was distributed among all partners. The printed version was in a poster format (din-A3) with the purpose to be hung on a wall. The calendar presents the periods for all WP and Tasks of the project, as well as the dates for PEC meetings, Conferences and Deliverable due times.
