Boards

The Scientific Board holds the scientific leadership of the consortium and decides on portfolio development.

The Steering Committee is responsible for implementing the work program and takes charge of the professional and financial monitoring of ongoing work. The Overall Coordination, consisting of Scientific and Operations Speakers, is the link between these committees and is responsible for consortium management and office leadership.

The leaders of the (co-)applying institutions form the Management Group. It supports the Steering Committee and Overall Coordination in overarching and strategic matters.
