Work package 1: Project management
WP 1 Leader: Prof. Boyko B. Georgiev
This WP is focused on the coordination and management of the project in order to achieve the objectives
of DiSSCo-BG. The activities envisaged include the coordination, current management, supervision,
control of timing and quality of work activities, internal information flow. The coordination of the
contacts with Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Bulgaria and the management structure
of the pan-European DiSSCo RI are important elements of this WP. This WP is also responsible for the
development of the collection policy system as well as for the organisation of the external assessment
of the DiSSCo RI. We plan to build-up an internal management structure at three levels: Management Board
(MB), Executive Board (EB) and Work-packages Boards (WPB1-WPB5).
Task leader: Prof. Boyko B. Georgiev
This task is scheduled for the entire duration of the project. It includes the organization of:
Task leader: Ms Elena Semerdzhieva
This task is scheduled for the entire duration of the project. The e-mail distribution list will be used on occasions. The E-newsletter will be published every three months and will include survey of the most important ongoing activities. It will be accessible for all the staff of the consortium members in order to provide entire transparency of the project activities and to distribute MB and EB decisions.The establishment of a managed information system (e-mail distribution lists, E-bulletin) will assure the appropriate information flow among the participants of the project and assist with the coordination activities. It will include also a schedule of the project activities and information on the progress of task achievement.
Task 1.3. Development of RI-related policy
Task leaders: Assoc. Prof. Vladimir Bozukov and Assoc. Prof. Rostislav Bekchiev
The following policy documents related to the RI are envisaged to be elaborated (or revised) on the basis of the existing internal regulations of the two partners or on the basis of the documents adopted by the pan-European DiSSCo RI or CETAF:
Task 1.4. External evaluation of the RI
Task leader: Prof. Aneta Kostadinova
This task is envisaged for 2023 (months 37-42), after the implementation of the main work for the development of the physical and digital infrastructure included in DiSSCo-BG RI. We plan to request the governing structures of the pan-European DiSSCo RI (e.g. DiSSCo Central Coordination Office) to form a group of evaluators to assess the quality of the development of DiSSCo-BG RI. Their assessment and recommendation will be of crucial importance for our further work in the frames of the DiSSCo Implementation (Construction) Phase (till 2025) and during the DiSSCo First Operational Phase (2025-2030).
