GOVERNANCE
Efficiency and multidisciplinarity: The
foundations of the MammoScreen project.
The multidisciplinary structure of MammoScreen is based on flexibility and an efficient management, for an optimal organisation and collaboration among the involved parties.
To achieve the project expected outcomes we devised a governance structure which guarantees an effective implementation of the tasks and a successful engagement of all stakeholders.
The main bodies of the project
General Assembly
The General Assembly is composed of one representative from each MammoScreen partner organisation, and it is the highest decision-making body of the project. It will decide on all major and strategic issues addressed during the project, which will substantially affect the scope, direction and content of the project.
