Structure

CARMINE project is implemented through 8 interconnected work packages (WPs), as summarized in the figure below:

The CARMINE project’s success is guided by a carefully structured team and a well-defined work plan. Our Project Coordinator (PC), General Assembly (GA) representatives from each participating institution, and dedicated WP and Task Leaders work together to ensure effective resource management and smooth execution. To uphold the highest standards of quality, ethics, and inclusivity, we’ve established an Internal Advisory Unit focused on quality control, gender equity, risk management, and ethical oversight. Additionally, an External Scientific Advisory Board of distinguished experts—each with significant experience in similar research and Horizon Europe projects—provides guidance and strategic insights.

CARMINE establishes synergies and complementarities with ongoing projects funded under the calls HORIZON-MISS-2021-CLIMA-02-03 (ICARIA, MIRACA, and RISKADAPT), and HORIZON-MISS-2021-CLIMA-02-01 (CLIMAAX). The consortium invites the coordinators of these projects as members in CARMINE’s External Scientific Advisory Board.
