•  WP1 is devoted to the study and collection of best practices from partners doctoral education and implementation involving formal procedures such as examination and supervision, contributing to both direct and indirect quality assurance.

•  WP1.1 Collection of best practices from partner doctoral education: in general partners have an established structure of courses, adapted to their PhD programs. The goal is to fix and in the next stages to use some of key courses and well – prepared didactic materials and units needed in the preparation of PhD students and ESR. Of special importance is the effective use of existing and optimal activation of very few e-learning courses that will improve the quality of PhD students preparation taking into account the specific partners competencies.

•  WP1.2 Creation of possible intersection points of common research interests. This task will be crucial in the creation of the curricula (i.e. the possible applications of mathematics in biomedical areas). Research cooperation together with educational cooperation is the core of the joint doctoral programme. Again we apply the principle to respect the specific partners research interests and adapt a flexible approach in organization of joint/bilateral PhD schemes.

•  WP1.3 Identification of employer engagement approaches and strategies that enhance the doctoral experience for all involved, building links between organizations and individuals, and enhancing the employability of doctoral candidates.

•  WP2 will develop the backbone of a common administration of the Doctorate

•  WP2.1 preparation of new Bilateral/joint agreement/agreements

•  WP2.2 Creation an Executive Board(EB). Defining the rules, regulation of EB. EB is composed of the Coordinator, the Scientific Manager, the Administrative Manager, and one representative per academic and non academic Beneficiares. Also one elected PhD representative will participate to EB meetings, without voting rights, who will be charged with the task of keeping channels of communication open and flowing in both directions between the EB and the PhD student body. The EB will meet once a year physically, and at least once a year or anytime needed virtually. The EB is responsible for organization and monitoring the Doctorate Program as well as for physical resources allocation.

•  WP2.3 Creating Selection Committee (SeC). The Selection Committee will be responsible for the preparation of the call, and the evaluation of applicants. The SeC will be composed by a representative of each academic Beneficiar, selected by the Steering Committee on the basis of their curricula.

•  WP2.4 is dedicated to the definition of a mobility strategy within the doctoral Programme.

•  WP3 Recruitment and selection of ESR.

• WP4 Supervision/formal training/courses

• WP4.1 Training in courses. The task is to provide a cohesive and flexible framework for high-level training of researchers in mathematical models in Biology and Medicine, with particular attention to the latest analytical and computational techniques, to follow approach aiming at overcoming traditional boundaries between analytical and computational approaches, macroscopic and microscopic modeling.

•  WP4.2 Training in schools. Periodic schools with minicourses will be organized. The topics of minicourses are focused on topics closer to the research domain of main working groups of the project. Typically, one of the lecturers of the schools is an established visiting scientists and at least one of the lecturers will be a member of the Supervisory Board.

•  WP5 Research. The task is to provide a vibrant forum to develop international research collaborations among different teams, using different approaches and combining state-of-the-art tools. The research is grouped into few research projects in the following fields: Neuroscience, Biochemistry ( with specific emphasize to Metabolic processes), Physiology, Clinical Psychopathology and Oncology . The network has a multidisciplinary character, integrating different approaches. Typically, the research projects are in early stage, most of the projects seem attractive starting points for PhD students, ESR as well as they give possibilities to develop successfully different project phases: research, design, implementation preparation as well as planning for evaluation and impact measurement.

•  WP5.1 Research working group - models in Oncology

•  WP5.2 Research working group - models in Neuroscience

•  WP5.2 Research working group - models in Biochemistry

•  WP5.3 Research working group - models in Physiology, Clinical Psychopathology

•  WP6 Evaluation and monitoring

•  WP7 Dissemination, communication, outreach and exploitation of project.

•  WP7.1 Workshops, schools, conferences. Young researchers will have the opportunity to participate in international conferences, workshops, in order to present their research results, to obtain newest knowledge, but also to establish and maintain contact with international experts with similar or complementary research interests.

•  WP7.2 Contacts with industrial partners. The purpose is to identify employer engagement approaches and strategies that enhance the doctoral experience for all involved, building links between organizations and individuals, and enhancing the employability of doctoral candidates. The management structure (Steering Committee, Executive Committee, Selection Committee) are points of possible interaction with non Academic Institutions, in particular with representatives of Biotech, Pharmaceutical, Medical Institutions. Looking for applications of math models in Biomedicine in a real – life situation gives possibility to use the data feedback and improve the models, but also is crucial for improving employability prospects PhD students .

•  WP8 is dedicated to the coordination and management of the project.
