Management and Project Coordination (WP6)

Work Package 6

Keeping METRINO aligned from ambition to delivery

WP6 provided the coordination framework behind METRINO: connecting partners and work packages, monitoring progress, supporting timely delivery and maintaining the shared project direction.

Why it mattered

Management was the link between parallel scientific activities and one coherent project — helping methods, materials, comparisons and impact actions progress together.

Coordinating one shared project

The practical management layer supporting scientific delivery across METRINO

What WP6 enabled

Four functions behind coordinated delivery

  • 01

    Align the work

    Connect objectives, milestones and dependencies across the technical and impact work packages.

  • 02

    Keep delivery visible

    Maintain shared oversight of progress, deliverables, reporting requirements, schedules and meetings.

  • 03

    Connect decisions

    Bring the coordinator and work package leaders together through the Project Board.

  • 04

    Address issues early

    Support frequent communication, identify cross-work-package bottlenecks and facilitate timely resolution.

Connecting every result pathway

One coordination structure linking five complementary areas of work

Project structure

One coordination layer, five result-producing work packages

WP6 did not operate as a separate scientific stream. It connected the work packages so that material development, measurement methods, biological-matrix workflows, tissue studies and impact activities could move forward as one project.

WP6 · Coordination hub

Project Board

The project coordinator and WP leaders monitored activities, supported delivery and maintained communication across the consortium.

PTB coordination · consortium-wide function

Shared responsibility. WP6 was transversal: every partner contributed to project delivery through its work package activities, reporting and participation in consortium decision-making.

Governance in practice

A consortium kept connected

METRINO combined milestone-based physical meetings with virtual coordination and independent external perspectives. Each format served a different purpose: collective alignment, operational follow-through or strategic challenge.

  • Consortium meetings

    Physical and hybrid moments for collective alignment

    Key meetings created shared review points from the 2023 kick-off at LNE in Paris, through the M18 consortium review, to the final hybrid meeting at INRiM in Turin.

  • Working rhythm

    Virtual coordination between major milestones

    Virtual consortium exchanges and Project Board meetings connected the coordinator with WP leaders, monitored delivery, surfaced dependencies and prepared decisions between physical meetings.

  • Strategic Advisory Board

    An independent external perspective

    The SAB complemented consortium expertise by bringing external perspectives into project discussions, helping the team test relevance and consider wider stakeholder, uptake and standardisation needs.
