EGI-InSPIRE is a consortium of 50 partners, including 37 National Grid Initiatives (NGIs), two European International Research Organisations (EIROs) 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.
