   we need to sort out budget - I have received no response from Eystein re rethinking - can
   not judge other WPs but suspect too much going into modelling /simple modelling . We would
   rather inflate request now and rethink (with wider evidence) later. We need another million
   from other WPs .

     B.8 Detailed implementation plan - first 18 months
     MAX 40 PAGES
     This section describes in detail the work planned to achieve the objectives of the
     proposed project up to its first 18 months in operation. The recommended length,
     excluding the forms specified below, is up to 15 pages. An introduction should explain
     the structure of this 18-month detailed implementation plan and how the plan will lead
     the participants to achieve the objectives aimed for by that time. It should also
     identify significant risks and contingency plans for these. The plan must be broken down
     into work packages (WPs) which should follow the logical phases of the project during
     this period, and include management of the project and assessment of progress and
     results to this point. Essential elements of the plan are:

     a)      Detailed implementation plan introduction - explaining the structure of this
     plan and the overall methodology used to achieve the objectives of the first 18 months.
     Include a version of the form A3 which is used in Part A of the proposal, but covering
     just the first 18 months
     b)      Work planning, showing the timing of the different WPs and their tasks (Gantt
     chart or similar)
     WP and Task leaders: Provide input (Max 4 pages per WP) with detail of plans including
     milestones and key deliverables
     c)      Graphical presentation of the components, showing their interdependencies (Pert
     diagram or similar)
     d)      Detailed work description broken down into work packages: Work package list
     (use work package list form below);
      Deliverables list (use Deliverables list form below);
     Description of each work package (use work package description form below, one per work
     package):
     Note: The number and structure of work packages used must be appropriate to the
     complexity of the work and the overall value of the proposed project. Each work package
     should be a major subdivision of the proposed project and should also have a verifiable
     end-point (normally a deliverable or an important milestone in the overall project).
     The planning should be sufficiently detailed to justify the proposed effort and allow
     progress monitoring by the Commission - the day-to-day management of the project by the
     consortium may require a more detailed plan.
