Contingency plan

Abstract

The Contingency Plan describes general and specific risks related to three main activities of RESCCUE project: research activities, project management and dissemination and exploitation of results. The corresponding prevention actions, as mechanisms to partially or completely prevent these risks, as well as contingency plans to solve them in case of their occurrence, have been carefully elaborated and detailed in the document. The main risks identified correspond to issues such as: lack of source data or intermediate results hindering the proper evolution of the project; insufficient commitment/collaboration of partners or stakeholders; high complexity of the project due to the interconnections and interdependencies of the analysed domains (urban services); conflicts within the consortium; financial deviations or laxity of partners; IPR issues; involvement of critical infrastructures, which make difficult the dissemination of particular results; or lack of visibility and impacts of project results. This Contingency Plan will be updated in months: 24, 36 and 48 and thoroughly applied throughout the RESCCUE project life cycle under the supervision of the Coordination Team.
