The INDICIT II project comprises 5 Activities, sub-divided into several tasks.o
Activity 1: Management, coordination and communication
The objective is to ensure the proper coordination of the project in order to respect the objectives, the time frame and the budget. This activity is led by EPHE in Montpellier (France) and co-led by UNEXE (UK). It involves all the members of the INDICIT II Consortium (EPHE and MTES (France), UNEXE (UK, Cyprus), ISPRA and CNR-IAMC (Italy), HCMR (Greece), DGSCM-SGPM, UVEG and ULPGC (Spain) and FRCT (Portugal), INSTM (Tunisia), PAU-DEKAMER (Turkey)).

- Activity 1 concerns the management and coordination as well as the communication of the INDICIT II project, which is divided into 3 tasks:
Task 1.1: Technical coordination of the project (coordination of the partners’ common work)
Task 1.2: Administrative, legal and financial management of the project
Task 1.3: Communication
The Activity 1 leader (project management team) is supported by the 4 other Activity leaders and co-leaders who are responsible for the coordination of the work in his/her Activity. Meetings of all the INDICIT II participants are also planned twice a year by the project partners (see agenda). These meetings provide the opportunity to discuss the project progress and its next steps. The INDICIT II partners can refer to INDICIT II External Advisory Board, which includes relevant representatives of the RSCs and of Member States’ national administrations, as well as scientific experts.
The Steering Committee, which is chaired by the Project Coordinator and composed of 1 voting representative per participating organization, is required to adopt decisions about the project supervision and any strategic issue.
