The Europlanet 2024 RI Management is split between the University of Kent and the European Science Foundation (ESF). Here at Kent we are responsible for the administrative and financial management and oversight of the Project and are the first point of contact for any queries.
With over 50 beneficiaries, Europlanet 2024 RI is one of the most complex distributed research infrastructures funded by the European Commission to date.
In our office we maintain oversight of all 12 Work Packages ensuring progress against project milestones and budgets. We manage and support the EPN 2024 RI Executive Board and Committees, communicate and implement decisions including the distribution of the grant amongst the beneficiaries, leading the development of the projects systems, procedures and records management systems and ensuring appropriate management and co-ordination in accordance with EU standards.
The office at ESF is the host of the Europlanet Society Executive Office and also oversees the Transnational Access application process elements of the Project.
Europlanet 2024 RI has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 871149.
