Participation to Meetings & Workshops

In order to ensure a continuous communication between the Client and the Service Provider, a series of meetings will be organised by Client throughout the duration of the Contract. Attendance and participation to these meetings will be key to ensure commun ication and alignment between the parties.

Coordination Meetings

Among the recurrent meetings organised by Client, the Service Provider may be requested to attend to monthly coordination meetings. These meetings will aim at:

• Measuring performance of the Contract execution,
• Reviewing upcoming needs for additional activities and termination of on -going activities as the case may be,
• Holding discussions on challenges, difficulties, lessons learnt.

From time to time, the coordination meetings could be face -to-face meetings held in the Client’s offices in Paris-La Défense. However, if jointly agreed, those meetings will normally be held through conference call or teleconference call.
