Organisational structure of the HERA JRP
The overall responsibility for the governance of the HERA JRP lies with the HERA JRP Board, whose membership is formed by one representative from each participating funding organisation. Quality Assurance Committee and Knowledge Transfer Advisory Committee composed of the members of the HERA JRP Board will monitor the project selection process and knowledge transfer activities, respectively.
Proposal assessment and selection are the responsibility of the two international, independent Review Panels. The members of the Review Panels are leading scientists, appointed following suggestions from participating funding organisations. The membership of the Review Panels will be available on the Programme website for information. The Review Panels are also expected to monitor the overall research progress of the Programme.
Two theme-specific Research Steering Committees, which are formed by the Project Leaders of all funded CRPs, will be responsible for proposing networking activities for research synergy in the HERA JRP Programme.
ESF will act as the Handling Agency for the HERA JRP, managing the project selection process, dealing with the financial administration and managing research networking activities.
