Organization
Such a large-scale project requires a well-structured, methodical and efficient organization. GANIL works with its partner laboratories in order to achieve a common objective: to delve even further into the mysteries of nuclear physics research. SPIRAL 2 is thus an international project with great promise. The facility will be set into operation in 2013.
Project Planning
GANIL’s partners meet on a regular basis, to organize the project's management. In order to make appropriate choices, recommendations made by two international committees, scientific and technical, are followed. Once a year, a Steering Committee convenes enlarged meetings, to evaluate the financial and human resources involved in this project.
Finally, the project manager:
- Validates the choices
- Leads the project
- Defines the project's operational phases and steps
- Proposes inter-collaborator task allocations to the Steering Committee
He is assisted by the project scientist, who clarifies the scientific objectives and ensures that the choices made are well-suited to these objectives.
Under the Project Manager's supervision, the Project Management Board performs, on the one hand all of the management functions (budgeting, quality control, planning, technical assessments and interface definitions), and on the other hand, undertakes any actions required in terms of safety and radiation protection.
