MC oversees appropriate allocation and use of Action funding with a view to achieving Action’s scientific and technological objectives.
Action Chair (AC) is the head of the MC and is responsible of the practical implementation of the activities programmed in the yearly work-plan.
Action Chair is supported in his work by a Core Group (CG) composed by the action Vice-chair, Workgroup Leaders, Industrial Advisory committee chair, Early Career Investigator committee chair as well as STSM Coordinator and Scientific Communication Manager.
