Knowledge Management. The centre of the network is the existing knowledge on food composition research and public health nutrition acquired through the co-ordinated EuroFIR research. Thus, the IT software communication platform (see below) will be articulated around this knowledge. Several parts can be identified: o The inventory of each EuroFIR member: skills, expertise, tools, infrastructures, material, and capabilities to conduct research will be stored in the Centres Skills & Infrastructure Inventory Database; o The publications repository: the research results and findings will be stored in a Documents Database. o The methods and QA repository: the methods used to generate food composition data, together with the QA used to demonstrate data quality and consistency. o The Nutrient and Bioactive Compound Databank. • Project Management All the EuroFIR activities will be managed by a project management approach and will follow a process with several steps (see Figure 1): • The project aim; • The project plan; • The project in progress; • The project results and findings. The projects will be conducted under a series of interconnecting workpackages. In order to support this approach, a project management methodology will be applied to EuroFIR, the Project Information and Quality System (PIQS) as described below.
