EA: What could it do?

Project officers:• My core business

– Guarantee the scientific quality of the project portfolio (over the entire lifecycle)

– Feedback of my insights broadly but effectively into policy work in the Commission

• My creativity lies in– Uncovering new knowledge for Commission policies– Identifying and creatively engaging stakeholder communities

• My interlocutors are– The DG & the wider Commission– Stakeholders

• Those receiving funding • Those affected by the project outcomes

– The financial gestionnaires for approval of payments

21 •••

EA: What could it do?

Gestionnaires:• My core business

– Manage the financial & administrative lifecycle of research projects

• My creativity lies in– Identifying constantly better, simpler, more efficient

ways of administering grants with visible effects for both the Commission and the outside

• My interlocutors are– The Grants Officers at the beneficiary institutions– The Project Officer– The ‘central’ administration parts of the Commission

22 •••

New INFSO?

Life for a gestionnaire would not change

• My creativity lies in– Making the Commission respond intelligently to scientific and technological

developments– Contributing to creative ways of disseminating results and co-shaping

research priorities and policies with stakeholders• My interlocutors are
