The partners of the chair opted for dynamic governance to ensure that it is adapted both to the innovative and interdisciplinary nature of the work and to the need to take full account of industrial challenges. Open to international cooperation, it monitors the relevance of research topics and oversees the methodology and scientific approach applied to the research work. This role is fulfilled by two advisory boards – strategic and technical.
Strategic Advisory Board
With equal representation from ECN and RTE, the strategic advisory board steers scientific policy, meeting twice a year to establish the guidelines. It approves the research topics, determines the annual budget allocation for each project and assesses the chair’s activities.
