- Resolving disputes between participants;
- Agreeing any contract amendments, including changes to the workplan and funding allocations, with the Italian Research Ministry (MIUR);
- For ensuring that the partners develop plans for exploiting the results of GRIDA3.
PMB meetings will provide opportunities for synchronisation and alignment of plans and for the setting of specific goals.
PMB meetings will be held no less frequently than once every three months.
