M4- M6) • The Initial evaluation will be performed (A3.2. M8-M10) • The technical activities might be advanced, A2.3.1. - Lead by POLITO, UCR, A2.3.2. - Lead by UTD, ITESM • The working group for setting up the Barranquilla-Cartagena de Indias meeting next November 25-29, 2019 should define the agenda as soon as possible with the aim to attract policy-makers to the summer camp • The coordination procedures must be defined in the management handbook and implemented • A monthly videoconference will be carried out between coordinators and work- package leaders • A quarterly videoconference will be organized with the participation of all the consortium members • The quality management handbook will be closed with the Quality management plan definition (A3.1. M4- M6) • The Initial evaluation will be performed (A3.2. M8-M10) • GRIAL background The GRIAL research group [3, 4] is the coordinator partner of this project [1]. It has a significant experience in leading European Projects. Those most related to W-STEM are: • VALS (Virtual Alliances for Learning Society) [5-16]. • TACCLE 3 – Coding [17-24] • WYRED (netWorked Youth Research for Empowerment in the Digital society) [25-33]. • ROBOSTEAM [34, 35]. Gender resources A first set of gender related resources in STEM is selected [36-51]. Dissemination policy W-STEM wants to be present in the society and the consortium would like the outcomes of this project will have a real effect [52] in the Latin-American society, but also in the European Programme countries. Open access policy W-STEM project is fully compliant with open access policy [53-62] for accessing and sharing the knowledge and the outcomes generated in this project.
