Common use of Project Objectives Clause in Contracts

Project Objectives. The proposed Network of Excellence (▇▇▇) will provide the first comprehensive pan-European food information resource, using state-of-the-art database linking, to allow effective management, updating, extending and comparability. This is of fundamental importance to the Food Quality and Safety Priority and is an essential underpinning component of all food and health research in Europe. The network has FIVE strategic objectives: 1. Strengthen scientific and technological excellence in food composition databank systems by integrating at the European level the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ of resources and expertise needed to provide European leadership in this field and establish itself as a world force in this area. 2. Identify and provide new information for missing data for nutrients and biologically active compounds with putative health effects, and covering all food groups including traditional, Ethnic minority, novel, high-added value and prepared foods. 3. Spread excellence and enhance the impact of the network in food composition databanks and public health nutrition beyond the boundaries of the partnership through training, and sharing of methods and facilities. 4. Communicate with, and enter into dialogue with all user and stakeholder groups, in order to establish and deliver user and stakeholder requirements for sustainable and durable food databank systems. 5. Disseminate and exploit new scientific and technological knowledge in order to strengthen the competitiveness of the European food industry, including SMEs, aiming to help the European food and nutrition industry to grow into knowledge–based industry, targeted at evidence based healthier food production. Specific Objectives of EuroFIR In achieving its principal objectives, EuroFIR will operate along four Horizontal Platforms: Integration (IA), Joint Research (RA), Spreading of Excellence (SA) and Management (MA), each with a number of activities grouped under workpackages (WPs). The specific objectives are designed in a measurable and verifiable form and will be met though the Joint programme of Activities (JPA) as set out in the following table: Table 1.a Overview of Integration Activities Strategic Objectives Activities Deliverables/Milestones 1, 2 Potential risks/contingency plans 1: Deliverables: ➢ Helpdesk operational (M3) ➢ Report on audit (M12) ➢ Release IT systems manual (M12) ➢ Release updated IT manual (M18) Milestones: ➢ Hold inaugural meeting and launch (M1) ➢ Establish Helpdesk operation (M6) ➢ Implement changes from audit (M9) ➢ Complete publication of IT manual (M12) ➢ Update/publish IT manual (M18 & M18+) ➢ Implement facility sharing (M18+) IT web-based platform not ready in time for project start Prototype system operational by September 2004 for evaluation and testing prior to start of the project
