D8.1 Contingency Plan ready for HIDDEN project

The HIDDEN Consortium has prepared a contingency plan for the project. The document covers topics related to the quality of project management and communication, as well as technical quality of the project. In addition, it contains a detailed risk assessment. Clear and efficient communication, as well as careful follow-up of the risks, are extremely important due to the special effect of the ongoing pandemic. The tools to handle the risks, and to take care of quality, include e.g. frequent and efficient online meetings to discuss the progress together with the Consortium, as well as online platforms and databases for reporting, communication and data handling. With these methods, we can secure progress of the project, even though we cannot meet in person or visit the partner facilities. However, the consortium is eagerly looking forward on meeting everyone, both inside the HIDDEN project as well as within the full Battery 2030+ initiative.
