Implementation of the ECCSEL RI Coordination Committee

The RI Coordination Committee for ECCSEL, as outlined in the Business Plan, will be established by decision of the ECCSEL Board at the start of the project. The committee will consist of representatives of operators/owners of research facilities from all member states involved in ECCSEL. The Coordination Committee will report directly to the Executive Director. The main role of this committee is described in section 3.2.1 of the business plan. A monitoring tool for the usage of facilities and related innovation will be developed in cooperation with WP1 and WP2. Each facility will report to the Coordination Committee about the operation, suggestions/plans for improvements and innovations. The Coordination Committee will develop assessment criteria and KPIs for evaluation of the performance of the facilities and its management. Based on the KPIs, suggestions about required corrective actions to improve performance will be proposed by the Coordination Committee to support the relevant facility owners. The Coordination Committee will keep the overview of the development of ECCSEL RI and align this with the strategic plans (WP4) and prioritization of the upgrading (CAT-2) and new (CAT-3) facilities in Task 3.3. The detailed tasks, responsibilities, structure and initial composition of the Coordination Committee will be covered by this report.
