  8. Progress Against WorkPlan: WP1 Coordination • Initial late start now caught up • Meetings running to schedule • Reports issued (more or less) to schedule • CSC proving to be an effective means of managing the consortium • Combination of rapporteur and technology leader roles appears to be effective

  18. Technology Overview & Future Plans • Overview and Summary • Materials Characterisation • Best Practices • Breakthrough Technologies • Integration • Best Practices • Breakthrough Technologies • Confidence • Best Practices • Breakthrough Technologies

  19. Consultation Process • What feedback are we looking for? • What will we use the feedback for? • What decisions will we take based on the outcomes? • How will we record the feedback that we receive? • Will we disseminate this feedback?

  21. Consultation Process • How can we make use of gatherings that are taking place: • NAFEMS World Congress • NAFEMS Seminars • AUTOSIM Workshops • SAE Conferences • VDI Events • Vendor events (e.g. Fluent automotive conference) • Other events • Action Plan

  22. Future Activities • Next six months • Remainder of Project

  23. Discussion Summary • Critical Issues • Plan for conducting consultation process • Ensuring interaction with sufficient major stakeholders • Ensuring documentation from work so far is concise, readable and accessible for those outside the consortium • Ensuring plans for remainder of project are specific, detailed and realistic
