Governance

 

EGI-InSPIRE is a consortium of 50 partners, including 37 National Grid Initiatives (NGIs), CERN (the European Organisation for Nuclear Research), EMBL (the European Molecular Biology Laboratory) and eight partners from the Asia Pacific region.

 

The Governance structure of EGI-InSPIRE comprises the following bodies:

  • The coordinating body EGI.eu, represented through the Project Director (PD) and the Project Office head-quartered in Amsterdam,
  • The Collaboration Board (CB) representing the partners in the project,
  • The Project Management Board (PMB) representing groups of partners; smaller than the CB, the PMB is able to focus on tactical managerial issues,
  • The Project Administration Committee (PAC) set up to monitor the reporting process,
  • The Activity Management Board (AMB) composed of the activity leaders, which will oversee the day-to-day progress of the project's work, and
  • The External Advisory Committee (EAC) composed of internationally recognised experts that are both users and providers of e-infrastructures which will advise the PMB and the PD on the relevance of the Project plans in a world-wide context.
