The work within NORCICS is organized into 6 work packages. Research is being performed within three of these (WP2, WP3, and WP4), whilst the other three (WP1, WP5, and WP6) support the research work. The research in each of the three research work packages is at different Technology Readiness Levels (TRL), and is broken further down into Tasks. Specifically, research in WP2 (titled “Foundations”) is at TRL 1-3, research in WP3 (titled “Technologies, applications, services”) is at TRL 3-5, and research in WP4 (titled “Demonstration environments”) is at TRL 5-7. WP1 is dedicated to the creation and maintenance of a dynamic research-based innovation roadmap. The dissemination work package (WP5), guides all the dissemination and communication activities in NORCICS, and the project management work package (WP6) completes the structure of the work. All WPs span the lifetime of the project (2020-2028), whereas Tasks have durations ranging from 2 years to the project’s lifetime (in the case of demonstrators).

NORCICS has the following work packages (WP):

1. Research-based innovation roadmap
2. Foundations
3. Technologies, applications, and services
4. Demonstration environments
5. Dissemination and knowledge transfer
6. Project management
