The Research Adviser and Project Economist will present monthly reports to the schools concerning the status of all projects, including project finances.
The Project Manager has the overall responsibility for the implementation of all parts of the project. At Kristiania, HR responsibility is handled by the Head of Faculty at certain faculties. The Project Manager will be responsible for the academic management of the project, for ensuring that the necessary research methods and infrastructure are available to the project as described in the application and for ensuring that data is collected and stored in a secure manner in line with laws and regulations. Collaborations with partners must be followed up on, data must be processed and analysed and results must be discussed and presented in academic meeting venues. If doctoral candidates are involved with the project, these must be supervised and postdoctoral fellows must follow a development plan. It is particularly important to ensure that consideration is given to research ethics and that quality is high throughout all phases of the project. The Project Manager must also ensure that administrative tasks are taken care of.
Results and new information must be both published in scientific journals and disseminated as popular science. The Department of Research Communication and Innovation can assist with this and will also help with assessing the potential social impact of the project findings.
