Progress meetings will be held approximately every three months, as marked on the timeline, alternating between Paris and Oxford. The concluding meeting for WP4 and the final meeting will be held at ESTEC. At least one person from each centre will attend each meeting. At other times, the contractors will communicate primarily through e-mail and the World Wide Web sites to be established under the contract.
Based on experience during the current contract we anticipate that the work described above will require a combined total of approximately 3 years of researcher time, 1.5 man-years at each site. Resources will therefore be required to cover this amount of salary in addition to a consumables budget for preparation of the deliverables, management and maintenance of the computing for the World Wide Web site and a travel budget sufficient to cover attendance at project meetings.
The work in the contract extension will be conducted for a firm fixed price of 125kAU (75kAU in 1997 and 50kAU in 1998).
