Management & Funding
Management Structure of the LA:
The management structure of the associate laboratory has the following organization: management boards, including the Coordinating Board and the Executive
Board, and one manager for each thematic area. The LA also has an external advisory board, see section 8.
The Coordinating Board will have as functions to supervise and to guide in general lines the cooperation activities of the four participant R&D units and to decide
in cases of doubt resultant of divergent interpretations of the terms of the signed protocol. The Coordinating Board is composed by the scientific coordinators of
the involved units and by the managers of the thematic areas, and is presided over by the President of the Executive Board of the Laboratory that will assure that
the Coordinating Board will meet at least once a year. The meetings of the Coordinating Board can be convoked by any one of its members.
The Executive Board will be composed by the coordinators of the involved units and presided over by the scientific coordinator of the ISR-Lisbon. The Executive
Board will have as functions to assure the current management of the activities resulting from the collaboration among the participant units and to guarantee its
accurate fulfillment.
Each thematic area has a manager elected by the researchers involved in that particular area, for a period of 3 years. He will not have responsibilities of executive
management, but rather tasks like: to plan the activities to carry through in the thematic area and to promote its strategic orientation; to obtain the necessary
human resources; to guarantee the cooperation and integration of the activities of the various groups; to prepare, in cooperation with the area researchers,
project proposals and find financing sources for these projects (FCT, European Union, others); and to prepare annual activities plans and reports in the domain of
the thematic area, to submit to the consideration of the Coordinating Board.
The activities of the associate laboratory have been followed by an Advisory Board, consisting of national and international experts, selected by decision of the
Coordinating Board. The Advisory Board can be requested to give his judgment whenever the Coordinating Board considers it opportune and under proposal of
the Executive Board.
