The Self-Assessment Plan represents a best practice which the Coordinator (P1 Lynkeus) has adopted in all the projects in which it has been involved. Thanks to the self-assessment plan, all the WP leaders have a clear mean – defined by themselves – to evaluate the outcome of their respective effort, comparing it with the expected results at different project’s time-points. This approach gives the Consortium a clear tool for understanding the actual implementation level, making it possible to acknowledge the existence of delays and thus ultimately allowing the timely implementation of appropriate mitigation strategy. Finally, the Self-Assessment plan constitutes an objective tool of evaluation and understanding of the project status for the external reviewers.
