4. Establish measures for adequate data management
5. Implement an online tool to facilitate data sharing and internal communication.

Partners

A management structure has been designed to create optimal conditions to conduct this project. Due to the scale of the project, a Project Support Team composed of the Project Coordinator (Prof. Geert D’Haens, AMC), Deputy Coordinator (Prof. Wouter de Jonge), one senior EU project manager (Drs Paul Bessems, DESCIN) and one senior EU project controller (Drs Ralf Zaal, DESCIN) will be installed. The General Assembly, chaired by the Project Coordinator, is the highest decision-making body in METHYLOMIC and consists of 1 representative per beneficiary. To keep the management structure straightforward the Project Coordinator, Deputy Coordinator and Work Package leaders will be clustered in the Executive Committee, chaired by the Project Coordinator, representing each Work Package and is the core group for implementing decisions made in the General Assembly into the Work Packages. An External Advisory Board will officially be installed. The Project Coordinator and WP6 leader will ensure close involvement and collaboration with the External Advisory Board, Dissemination, Exploitation, and Intellectual Property committee and Patient Advisory Council (established in WP6) and actively involve them in the project meetings and stakeholder workshops.
