Adopted Criteria
Difficult choice !
Adopted Criteria:
Fitting with COSMO strategies and goals
Priority list defined within each WG
FTE already available/allocated (the project is already well addressed and does not impact too much on the amount of resources to be found)
A real benefit of the activities coming from being organized within a project
Number of selected projects at the upper limit!
Considering this is the Trial Year it is better
to give more possibility to choice

14th STC meeting DWD, 13 June 2005
STC defines COSMO strategy
SAC (WP Coordinators + SPM) defines a preliminary list of projects fitting COSMO strategy
General Meeting parallel sessions: collection of proposals and fine- tuning of projects
SAC defines a priority list to be submitted to the decisions of STC
STC selects a limited (one-digit) numbers of “top priority projects”
WP coordinators identify Project Leaders
Project Leaders prepare a detailed Project description and a clear project plan (project activities, human resources, milestones)
STC gives the final approval of the projects
STC members assigns human resources to the projects
