EASAC Board
The Board is EASAC’s main governing board and supreme executive body. Its primary task is to set the overall direction for EASAC and ensure that resources are aligned with strategic objectives.
EASAC’s Board is responsible for developing and implementing EASAC’s strategy, and is accountable to the Council, carrying out its decisions. It is responsible for appointing Programme Directors after consulting with the relevant Steering Panel Chair(s), and actively participates in EASAC’s outreach and science advice activities throughout Europe. The Board also approves projects for EASAC commentaries. The Board meets at least twice a year and liaises with the EASAC Programme Directors and EASAC Steering Panel Co-chairs.
The Vice-Presidents support the President in representing EASAC externally and are primarily responsible for a particular portfolio of tasks, as decided by the Board, after consulting the Council.
