The Cluster’s central panel is the Research Board (RB), consisting of the leaders of all Research Units, representatives of the Connectors and the two Cluster spokespersons. It also includes a representative from young researchers, an equal opportunity representative, the managing director and scientific manager, and the coordinators of MIAPP, C2PAP and ODSL. Board members decide on all issues of general funding (e.g. allocation of funds to Research Units and Connectors) and the financing of further activities.
