Specific tasks assigned to each Partner
FEANI
	The participation of FEANI in the project, as legal representative, will cover aspects of the technical part as well as the administrative and financial part.  Concerning the technical part, FEANI will be particularly involved in Stage 2 – Testing Phase – and Stage 5 – Refinement of the FEANI INDEX (see Work Plan). This will be done through the participation of FEANI EMC as well as by the involvement of selected FEANI National Members . Concerning the administrative and financial part, FEANI will provide management and secretarial support for collecting and managing the deliverables from partners and working working groups and will liaise with the EU Commission. The function of Treasurer will also be taken over by FEANI. Those activities will be done in close collaboration with the Project Coordinator (see Project Management Structure) and will give him the support for his activities.
SEFI
	The specific role of SEFI in the EUR-ACE project will regard the harmonization of educational programmes; conformity with national “academic” rules, and coordinate the activity of the SEFI institutional members acting at national level in the “testing/tuning” stages.
CESAER
	CESAER will contribute to developing criteria with specific respect to academic and research content of both the FC and the SC label, with the assistance of the members of CESAER, CESAER will specifically contribute to those criteria for accreditation that should be met by engineers who opt for a research career in technology and science.
EUROCADRES
	EUROCADRES intends to take part in the various steps of the project (framework for accreditation and set of procedures, testing, wrapping up and future architecture), on the basis of the experience of its national member organisations, of its knowledge of European higher education and training in others fields than Engineering, and of its European background. It will pay a particular attention to the professional life of engineers and to the link between education, training and the work place environment. EUROCADRES is committed to achieve genuine processes for mutual recognition of qualifications and diplomas in Europe.
ENQHEEI
	In this project, apart from participating with the other partners in the elaboration of the outputs, ENQHEEI will in particular investigate the feasibility of special standards for programmes addressed to meet specific requirements for industry.
ASIIN
	As a founding member of the European Standing Observatory for the Engineering Profession and Education (ESOEPE) the ASIIN for the past 4 years has worked actively towards the realization of the European higher education space and will bring its expertise and experience in the area of accreditation and quality assurance into the EUR-ACE project. ASIIN will participate in the relevant bodies of the EUR-ACE project, cooperate with other partners to conduct multinational accreditations and develop the necessary procedures and standards for European accreditations.
CTI
	As a contribution to the project CTI will provide its over 60 years experience in engineering education accreditation for the ESOEPE steering committee and will bring support for the ESOEPE workshops and seminars and to the dissemination of their results. CTI will also participate actively in testing bi and/or multinational accreditation.
IEI
	IEI will make its experience available to the project and in particular check the proposed accreditation standards versus its own new criteria published in February 2004.
CoPI
	The role of CoPI in the project will be to verify and test the applicability in Italy (and possibly in other countries where an accreditation system is not yet in force) of the standards and procedures for European accreditation that will be proposed within the EUR-ACE project.
UNIFI
	The University of  Florence will provide the project with its wide experience in the field of Engineering Education especially within the framework of the SOCRATES Programme. It will also assure the development of synergies with other Socrates activities, acting also in the interest and on behalf of the Thematic Networks E4 and TREE (expected to be operative from late 2004) and specifically ensuring the synergy with the Line A “Tuning” of TREE.
Ordem dos Engenheiros
	Ordem dos Engenheiros will collect and discuss different aspects of accreditation methodology, in order to co-operate in the definition of criteria for an accreditation system in the professional perspective, and will participate in the workshop at the end of stage 1. Ordem dos Engenheiros will follow up the implementation of the new accreditation system in two or three engineering schools in a voluntary test and will collect the results to present in a workshop by the end of stage 2. Ordem dos Engenheiros will further co-operate in the refinement of the criteria at the end of the project at stage 3.
UAICR
	UAICR will participate actively in all stages of the project. In the first stage, UAICR will be involved in  the working group in charge with the collection and comparison of the characteristics, common criteria, comparative advantages and best practice in accreditation of the engineering programmes, bringing relevant information not only from Romania but also from other Central-Eastern European Countries very well represented in the EUCEET Consortium. UAICR will provide additional support to the testing and re-testing phases, in first place by involving the Technical University of Civil Engineering of Bucharest,  Romania , and also other universities from the EUCEET network. Together with its partners from the European Council of Civil Engineers (ECCE) and from EUCEET, UAICR will be instrumental in defining specific and particular requirements for study programmes in civil engineering.
RAEE
	The role of RAEE in the project will be to contribute to the common accreditation criteria and procedure, relying on the newly acquired experience of accreditation of engineering programmes in Russia, to verify and test the applicability EUR-ACE standards for European accreditation in Russia and in countries that have recently joined the Bologna process.
ECuk
	Its main contribution to the project will be to input its extensive knowledge of professional accreditation. In particular, the ECUK will be represented on the working group drafting the accreditation procedures (stages 1+3), and in testing against  UK accreditation standards (stage 2).
