The Project Structure
Within the project each of the analyte-based WPs (WP5: shellfish toxins, WP6: Pesticides, WP7: Endocrine Disrupters, WP8: Therapeutics, WP9: Heavy Metals, WP10: Mycotoxins) and the technology platforms, WP1: Transcriptomics, WP2: Proteomics, and WP3: Biosensors have been assigned a separate work package (WP)Further WPs (11-13) have been assigned to Consumer Science, dissemination, demonstration activities and management, training and IPR issues.
The BioCop Project utilises a matrix management system, i.e., technology interacting with analyte groups, whereby frequent interactions with other WPs are inherent. The matrix system was developed to ensure that BioCop maintains a high level of organisation and communication.
All the work packages mentioned below are managed using the same approach; a team of two organisations manages each work package. The Project Steering Commitee are the intermediate between the BioCop Top Management Group (TMG) and their work package partners.
The diagram below shows the structure of the BioCop project and the people involved.
