15.3 GRAPHICAL PRESENTATION OF WORK PACKAGESThe figure shows the work packages of the NoE grouped by closeness of association, rather than byadministrative hierarchy. Workpackages similar in nature are grouped together on a commonbackground rectangle, and those with somewhat less close kinship are grouped close to one another buton different rectangles. Spheres of overlap are indicated by an overlap of individual workpackages overdifferent rectangles, or by overlap of entire rectangles. The figure also shows a gradation from the more“individual” activities – career development, training – on the left, through research and centralactivities in the middle, to the “outwardly directed” activities on the right: external dissemination,collaboration and ultimately commercialisation. The “Management” activity (work package 22) isrepresented as underpinning the entire collection of network activities.Pert-Diagram - Workpackage InteractionsA more revealing picture of the high level of interactivity achieved within the networkprovides the following diagram of reported member interactions.227
