01
Align the work
Connect objectives, milestones and dependencies across the technical and impact work packages.
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.
36months of coordinated activity
20partner organisations
6interconnected work packages
1Project Board linking the coordinator and WP leaders
What WP6 enabled
Four functions behind coordinated delivery
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.
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.

WP5
Creating impactEngagement, training, uptake and standardisation
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.
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.
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.
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.
