Project Management Team

The day-to-day operational management of the project is performed by two Project Managers (DANTE General Managers) who are responsible for the co-ordination of the different Activities, supported by the Project Office.

The Project Office looks after the project secretariat, financial and administrative responsibilities, as well as the five Co-ordination roles that ensure the synchronisation and co-ordination of efforts across all project Activities, and adherence to the project's technical and procedural guidelines and initiatives. 

The Activity Leaders are each responsible for a specific area of the project, across Research, Services and (human) Networking activities.

This group is the Project Management Team, and it meets up each month with the Project Managers to discuss operational matters. The list of members are:
