RECENT PER AREA
GAPP CONSORTUM COORDINATION
WP1 WP Leader: Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS – CNT – CNS), Italy
The major effort of GAPP WP Management was focused on checking the quality and timing of the
activities in order to avoid any gaps between what was planned, and the work actually performed.
From an administrative point of view the Joint Action is facing some changes in the composition of the
consortium due to the withdrawal of two Swedish organisation (IVO and MPA). This required WP1 to
reallocate workloads and funding within the consortium and the amendment procedure to the grant
agreement was launched. WP4 was assigned to the Romanian National Registry of Hematopoietic
Stem Cells Voluntary Donors (RNDVCSH), and to ISS-CNT-CNS as co-leader.
In this Joint Action, WP1 is also receiving much support from collaborating beneficiaries not only
from a scientific point of view, thanks to the effort they put in the work of technical WPs, but also
in the organisation of meetings (the second joint technical meeting was held in Strasbourg at the
premises of the Council of Europe, with the support of EDQM) and from a dissemination point of view
with reference to the possibility given by the European Hematology Association (EHA) to participate,
attend and disseminate GAPP activities in the premier hematology international conference in Europe
with thousands of participants coming from all over the world. Notably, EHA is a collaborating partner
of GAPP Joint Action
