Event description
The Kick-off Meeting aimed to introduce the structure and organisation of the CHANCES project and to set the first actions to be performed. Partners were asked to present detailed descriptions of their cohorts. An overview including the main objectives was presented for each of the project's Work Packages (WP).

A wiki extranet website was agreed to be set up by partner THL (Finland) in order to facilitate the process of data harmonisation.

The presentation of the Finance and Contracts Manager of the European Commission (EC), who attended the meeting, was of major importance, since she introduced the financial regulations for FP7 funded projects.

Furthermore, the Chair of the Ethics Advisory Board (EAB) described the role of the EAB in the project.
