In order to achieve the successful complementation of LIBRA objectives, the work-plan is wisely organized and split into the following distinct work packages (WPs):
WP1 includes overall legal, ethical, financial and administrative management of the project:
· Management of contract and consortium agreement related issues
· Maintance of accurate records of cost and effort
· Monitoring the compliance of project participants with their obligations under the grant agreement
· Facilitation of communication and co-operation between the project partners
· Providence of detailed technical planning, including a regularly updated contingency plan
· Management of Innovation strategy and reviewing of IP landscape
· Preparation and delivery of periodic management reports and technical progress reports, as required
· Providence of a communication point for the project with the European Commission
· Preparation of the scheduled review meetings
· Assurance that equal opportunities are offered to both genders involved in the project
WP2 includes the identification and classification of nutrients and pathogens:
· Classification of the antibodies for the detection of pathogens
· Characterization of antibodies
· Process mapping and definition of critical control points
· Definition and update of the specifications of the LIBRA system
