The overall management structure of the Centre consists of a
board comprising members from the consortium participants,
Figure 3. The Board is to formulate the strategy for the Centre,
approve annual operational plans, monitor the performance of
the Centre according to the performance indicators described
in the project description and annual targets, and propose
corrective actions when needed. The Centre director will be in
charge of the operation of the Centre, assisted by a core team.
A Scientific Advisory Board of international experts will provide
scientific and strategic advice. Each of the five research
programmes is led by a programme head. These programme
heads will also be responsible for the verification and validation
of the developed models and technology. Cooperation across
the research programmes will ensure the transfer of technology
and allow possible synergies. The Methods & Tools programme
will be the main instrument to link the research programmes in
the Centre and the Industrial implementation at the industrial
partners. Also these activities will be led by programme heads.
The Centre will have a clear strategy for the management of
intellectual property issues, including any assignment for
commercialization or development and the distribution of any
commercial returns.
