The operational part of the KNAPPE project is organised into 6 technical work packages (WP 1 to 6) each led and coordinated by one Chairperson (WP leader), acknowledged as worldwide scientists. The WP Leaders are responsible for:

•      Co-ordination of the work performed in the relevant WP and activities,

•    The organisation of technical meetings,

After the kick-off meeting, 4 meetings will be planned for the presentation of intermediate results and a general information and exchange forum. The chairman of the Scientific Council will be the KNAPPE co-ordinator.
