[Relax-dn-pi] [RELAX-DN] 2 DC representatives for the RELAX-DN Supervisory Board are wanted

[Philippas Tsigas]

Dear RELAX-DN DCs,

Yet another message by me! 🙂

This mail is sent to all RELAX-DN students, including the 3 new ones that are joining us shortly.


The RELAX Supervisory Board (SB) is a key component of the management structure of the RELAX network. The SB consists of one representative per beneficiary, one representative per partner, and two DCs. The DCs will elect two representatives as soon as all DCs are recruited.


With this email I would like to kick-off the process of electing these two DCs. These 2 DCs do not have to be the same during the duration of the project, you can go for a rotation scheme if you wish. It is up to you how to select the 2 DCs. It would be great if you could select the 2 DCs before Wednesday next week so that the 2 DC representatives can participate at the Consortium meeting on Wednesday next week.


Regarding the role of the SB, please find an extract from the Grand Agreement (GA) below.  The GA is attached.


If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks and best regards,

Philippas
