Mr. Manolis Stratakis representing FORTHnet began with a presentation of technological aspects of the project. Mr. Stratakis gave an example of how the ad-hoc.com tool will be. He also explained what elements should the language content have in order to be easily adapted to the technological platform. Mr. Stratakis also proposed to use only PDA devices and not w@p applications for the implementation of the project, since they are portable, flexible and not very expensive.

Moving on to the financial aspects of the project a presentation was given by Mr. Sofoklis Sotiriou who explained to the partners how they should deal with their budget and how this budget can be broken down (staff costs, travels, technology etc.) He explained that there would be two financial reports. The first one should be ready by the first of June 2002 and the final financial report at the end of the project.

The Memorandum of understanding was the last section of the meeting. Mrs. Malliou suggested having a report from all the partners every week. All the members of the consortium agreed on that proposal. It was also decided that the scenarios that will be used for the construction of the language-learning tool should be defined by the end of November 2001. By the end of November 2001 a report about the users’ needs is also expected from all the partners. The technological partner, FORTHnet, should start the development of the on-line manual and by the end of November 2001 should provide the coordinator with a report describing the Ad-hoc.com language-learning tool.
