Well, I'd love to help; but I've never done this for an umbrella
organisation -- and quite frankly, I have no idea what to fill in
there... Questions like how to deal with disappearing students or
mentors; how to make sure the students continue working on the project
etc. are rather a matter of the individual suborganisations it seems to
me...

Would be helpful if those hwo did it the previous years could at least
give us some rough hints what they filled in there.
