Governance

EGI.eu is a non-profit foundation established under Dutch law (Stichting EGI.eu) on 8 February 2010 to coordinate the federated computing resources distributed across Europe and deliver an integrated and secure European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) for the benefit of its multi-disciplinary users. EGI.eu also represents the EGI federation and its participants in the wider distributed computing community.

• Statutes of the foundation are available in Dutch and English.
• Extracts of the EGI.eu registration with the Chamber of Commerce (number 34380182) are available in Dutch and English. 
• EGI Council Terms of Reference

EGI.eu is governed by the EGI Council, which is responsible for defining the strategic direction of the EGI federation. The Council acts as the senior decision-making and supervisory authority of EGI.eu. The Council participants (table) are the National Grid Initiatives (NGIs) that represent each country and European Intergovernmental Research Organisations (EIROs).

The Council delegates oversight of the day-to-day running of EGI.eu to an Executive Board with seven members (full list).

The Executive Board devolves financial and organisational responsibility to the Director, who is supported by a staff of 22 people based at the EGI.eu headquarters in Amsterdam. The EGI.eu is supported by the equivalent of another 22 full-time workers spread across many organisations around Europe.
