Governance
LifeWatch ERIC relies on a multi-level governance model to ensure effective decision-making, smooth management, scientific soundness and transparency of processes.
The infrastructure includes two main Statutory Bodies to carry out these functions: the General Assembly and the Executive Board.
These are supported by four Subsidiary Bodies:
- The Scientific and Technical Advisory Board (STAB),
- The In-Kind Contribution Committee (IKCC),
- The Financial Committee (FINCOM),
- The ad-hoc Evaluation Committee.
Statutory Bodies
The Executive Board is responsible for day-to-day management, ensuring the consistency, coherence and stability of infrastructure services and coordination between the Common Facilities and Distributed Centres.
