The MiTheMaS project is articulated in 5 technical work packages (WPs) and one Management and Dissemination WP. The articulation of WPs and the reconnections is schematized in Figure 1.
Figure 1. The schematic view of work packages and their connections.
Description of the WPs
WP0: Management and dissemination
- Kick-off meeting organization
