DURAS Project Leaders' Workshop held
Prior to full implementation of the 12 projects selected under the DURAS Competitive Grants, the DURAS Project Office organized a workshop that brought together all the Project coordinators and their European collaborators from 11-14 October 2005 in Montpellier (France).

During the workshop, project coordinators discussed the potential contribution of their respective projects to sustainable development (SD) and what indicators could be used to measure it. As they were not able to draw a conclusion on this, it was agreed that the process of identifying indicators covering the economic, ecological and social dimensions of SD will be continued in consultation with their other partners.
Also discussed during the workshop was the framework for progress reporting. The 12 projects will provide Quarterly and Annual Progress Reports. These progress reports will cover four critical success factors in project implementation: (1) meeting project objectives; (2) timeliness; (3) functional involvement of stakeholders; and (4) dissemination of scientific outputs.
Financial Reporting Framework as well as information and communication tools which can be used to facilitate interaction among project coordinators, including dissemination of project results, were agreed upon during the Workshop.
