Deliverable D6.2, ‘Report on monitoring the project developments’, aims to monitor the mid-term progress of the prodPhD project. This deliverable monitors the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of the actions in each work package of the project and provides an overall assessment of the results of each pilot action. KPI monitoring was based on the descriptive and evaluative operationalization of the KPIs in D6.1. However, the KPIs were initially not assigned specifically to individual work packages; the monitoring was therefore divided into two dimensions. First, the individual work packages were monitored in terms of ‘overall assessment’, where the partners reported the objectives of the work package, partners involved, discrepancies between intended and actual impact, modifications of plan, and progress plan. Second, the KPIs corresponding to each work package were monitored by the leader of each work package in line with their operationalization in D6.1.
This mid-term monitoring of the progress of the prodPhD project shows that the implemented activities thus far meet their corresponding KPIs. In addition, this deliverable also provides an overall assessment of each Work Package (WP). Both the KPI monitoring and the overall assessment of each WP show the activities completed thus far meet their targets and, hence, the prodPhD project is on track to deliver optimal outcomes to meet its aims.
