A Project quality plan is applied, containing internal guidelines and detailing Project procedures (quality assurance, document management, document templates, deliverable validation workflow, etc.), in accordance with the Project management and organization defined in the Grant Agreement and the Consortium Agreement. SINTEC will ensure the dissemination among the partners of the communication procedures, and will verify that the quality prescriptions for reporting and presentations are respected by the partners. Moreover, it will help in the internal diffusion of information and will keep a register of all the reports produced in the Project.
To support the quality management, an online tool is implemented to permit a smooth a straightforward process for the evaluation and quality control of all the documentation produced in the Project.

The advice from the ExAC will be stimulated wherever expertise from the field is required, and then incorporated in the Project deliverables.
ENEA coordinates the activities of the ExAC, while Sintec ensures the secretariat of the committee, facilitating their communication with the Project consortium, collecting the documentation produced and ensuring the access of the ExAC to the Project relevant data.
