purpose of this Consortium Agreement is to specify the organisation of the work related to
this project between the ENEN members and the external partners, to organise the
management of the Project, to define the respective rights and obligations of the participants,
including, but not limited to, their liability and indemnification, to set out rights and
obligations of the participants, supplementing but not conflicting with those of the EC
Contract. The participants agree to cooperate pursuant to the terms of this Consortium
Agreement in order to execute and fulfill the EC Contract with the EC and perform the tasks
designated in the activities in the present document.

Board of Governors and the office of the Secretary General for the daily management. The
Board of Governors is composed according to the ENEN Statutes. The institutions
represented in the ENEN Board of Governors have acquired considerable experience in
nuclear education, training and knowledge management and the qualifications of their

questioning. They have been managing as coordinator the FP5 contract ENEN FIR1-CT-

discharging the duties of the ENEN Association as project coordinator, acting through the
office of the Secretary General, which is the interface to the European Commission for all
bilateral and multilateral aspects. The Board represents the project coordinator in all technical
and administrative matters and is responsible to organize the timely delivery of contractual
documents, reports and cost statements.
