Selected Priority Projects 12 projects presented Priority Project

Selected Priority Projects 12 projects presented + Priority Project n° 0: Support Activities 12/09/2005 13: 30 Tiziana Paccagnella COSMO Gen. Meeting 2005 Zurich

Adopted Criteria Difficult choice ! Adopted Criteria: • Fitting with COSMO strategies and goals • Priority list defined within each WG • FTE already available/allocated (the project is already well addressed and does not impact too much on the amount of resources to be found) • A real benefit of the activities coming from being organized within a project Number of selected projects at the upper limit! Considering this is the Trial Year it is better to give more possibility to choice 12/09/2005 13: 30 Tiziana Paccagnella COSMO Gen. Meeting 2005 Zurich

14 th STC meeting DWD, 13 June 2005 • STC defines COSMO strategy • SAC (WP Coordinators + SPM) defines a preliminary list of projects fitting COSMO strategy • General Meeting parallel sessions: • SAC defines a priority list to be submitted to the decisions of STC • STC selects a limited (one-digit) numbers of “top priority projects” • WP coordinators identify Project Leaders • Project Leaders prepare a detailed Project description and a clear project plan (project activities, human resources, milestones) • STC gives the final approval of the projects • STC members assigns human resources to the projects 12/09/2005 13: 30 collection of proposals and fine- tuning of projects Tiziana Paccagnella COSMO Gen.
