A.2 Elaborate a project proposal

Research partners develop the conceptual framework interactively and iteratively: they define scientific goals and their policy relevance, discuss the theoretical framework, define the research questions, formulate hypotheses, and develop a methodological design for the project. The project co-ordinator takes care of the administrative requirements of the final proposal, sets up a management structure that decentralises the responsibilities and authorities amongst the partners, and defines ‘milestones’ to evaluate the progress of the project. All partners estimate required time, manpower and budget. Finally, the final proposal is edited.
