Auto-Cove 2.0 will develop all project WPs using “waterfall methodology” and WP 3 by using collaborative development workshops. The tasks are organised in a chronological order that will lead to the publishing of the final deliverables with stages that are consequential. Each phase will begin at the end of the previous one. Concerning operational WPs: (2, 3 and 4) they have been planned in chronological order in three stages. There will be 7 Work packages in the Auto-Cove 2.0 project. Three of them will be transversal: Management (WP1), Quality Assurance and Risk Management (WP 5) and Impact and dissemination (WP7). They will be implemented on a regular basis throughout the whole length of the project. The activities in these WPs are cyclical and will be repeated regardless of the stage of the project. The rest four work packages: R & D (WP2), Innovative study modules and training courses for students, teachers and company employees (WP 3 and 4) and student and staff mobilities (WP6) will be operational Work packages and they will last only certain period of the project.
The triangle co-operation is implemented mainly in operational Work packages 2,3 and 4, where the actual project output development work is done. Co-operation between companies, researching institutes (VTT + two polytechnics with their research operators,) secondary and tertiary level education providers and business partners is implemented.
