Project Coordinator

The EVIDENCE project will be co-ordinated by a team from the Institute of Legal Information Theory and Techniques of the Italian National Research Council (CNR-ITTIG) led by Dr. Maria Angela Biasiotti, who has successfully been involved in international projects since 2000. The co-ordination team will be supported by a project office both at CNR-ITTIG and the University of Groningen.

CNR-ITTIG will be overall responsible for the financial and scientific management of the EVIDENCE project and it will be supported by the work package leaders (with specific responsibilities) and a Steering Committee. For the purpose of internal feedbacks provision by WP10 as well as external expert feedback, the organisational structure also includes an External Advisory Group (EAG).
