Boards
General Assembly (GA)
General Assembly (GA) is the ultimate decision-making body of the project with responsibility for the strategic vision. The GA provides direction to the Activity Management Board (AMB) and the Project Office (PO). Each beneficiary is represented by one voting member in the GA, with the Project Coordinator (PC) and the Project Director (PD) being non-voting members of the GA. Chair is elected by GA members.
Activity Management Board (AMB)
Accountable to the GA, the Activity Management Board (AMB) is the executive body in relation to project implementation and strategy. It coordinates the execution of project activities within and across the project work packages according to the activity plan, quality plan and strategy defined by the GA. AMB collects, reviews and distributes project deliverables/milestones. Members are the WP Leads and is chaired by the PD.
Project Office (PO)
The Project Office (PO) manages the project finances, administration, and communications with the EC. The PO monitors the project allocations and its consumption, provides administrative support to the project beneficiaries, and defines, implements, and controls the Quality Management and Risk Management strategy, plans and registers. The PO is the central point for external contact to C-SCALE. Project Coordinator chairs the PO.
User Forum (UF)
The User Forum (UF) provides feedback on the implementation and functionality of C-SCALE from the User Communities engaged by WP4 in the implementation of the use cases. Feedback to the work package leaders of WP 2 and WP 3 is enabled via the AMB. The UF is also used as a mechanism to engage with the national and international organisations invested in Copernicus Services. Chair is the lead of WP4.
Advisory Board (AB)
The Advisory Board (AB) gives direction to the AMB by advising on plans to increase the impact of the project outputs at a European level. This includes input on service provisioning and engagement priorities. Chair is self-elected from the board members.
