Governance

The SC serves as the primary decision-making body, responsible for defining the scientific direction of the consortium. Its key objectives include discussing relevant topics, making decisions on scientific and technical issues, reviewing progress, and ensuring project functioning in areas such as green initiatives, gender equality, and mobility plans.

Members

Hosted at IRD, the PMO ensures adherence to project activities’ deadlines. It organizes meetings and events, manages legal and administrative documents (such as EU reporting), and facilitates the internal and external dissemination and communication of research results.

Members

The EAB conducts independent audits of the consortium’s operations, development, and direction, providing an annual technical report to the Steering Committee and Consortium Assembly.

Acting as the overall supervisory body of the project, the CA actively participates in discussions and decision-making, casting votes on various subjects proposed by the Steering Committee. The CA reviews technical and financial reports provided by the PMO and deliberates on critical aspects such as intellectual property rights, handling of defaulting parties, withdrawal or inclusion of members, and admission of new members.

The organizational chart above outlines the four instances of project governance (SC, PMO, EAB, and CoA) and provides an overview of the work packages, their leaders, and the tasks associated with each work package and their respective leaders.
