Organization & Governance
The Center is composed of specialized Research Groups (organized into research areas) which flexibly organize themselves to form Multidisciplinary Teams to address large projects or challenges in the prioritary research areas. Every Research Group has a Coordinator and every project in the Center has one or several Principal Investigators.
At different levels, the Center is conducted by the General Council, the Board of Management and the Executive Board.
- The General Council, composed by all the doctors in the Center, is in charge of the strategic issues, including the approval of the large term planning and the annual budget.
- The Board of Management gathers representatives of the Groups in the Center, and is the responsible of defining the Center´s research, financing and human resources policies.
- The Executive Board is in charge of the ordinary management of the Center, executing the approved policies and strategies. It is formed by seven members, which include the Director, the Subdirectors and the Secretary of the Center, and three members appointed by the Board of Management. The Research Executive Board is an extension of the Executive Board, adding the Scientific Director and the leaders of the main research areas.
Complementary to the formal ordinary management structure, the Center has also:
- An Advisory Committee including different roles (industry experts and international scientists). It provides strategic and scientific guidance: advising on research priorities, supporting the recruitment of key personnel, evaluating the center’s progress, and fostering external collaborations.
- Research Area Committees (RACs). Each RAC will be led by relevant scientists, responsible for coordinating research activities across researchers, ensuring alignment with IPTC’s scientific and strategic objectives, and overseeing funding proposals and resource management.
