Programme Structure and Management

The overall responsibility for the governance of the programme lies with a Management Committee, whose membership is formed by one representative from each participating funding organisation (usually a senior science manager) together with an ESF representative.

Proposal assessment and selection are the responsibility of an independent international Review Panel consisting of leading experts in the field. 

The Scientific Committee which is formed by the Project Leaders of all funded CRPs will be responsible for proposing a Programme work-plan including networking activities for scientific synergy in the EUROCORES Programme. They will also advise and support the EUROCORES Programme Coordinator in the coordination of networking activities.
