VAMDC Project

Strategic Advisory Board (SAB)

Chair :

The SAB will bring together influential international scientists, producers and users of data, as well as representative from international standardisation organisations, with interests relevant to the project, but who are independent of it. It will ensure that the project is engaged with and responsive to developments in Europe and non-EU countries. It will have an important role in ensuring the project achieves its intended impacts in terms of structuring the European Research in connection with non-EU initiatives and International standards, having the power to co-opt/appoint members from other EU/non EU projects with whom VAMDC wishes to engage. It may also elect selected users of VAMDC e-infrastructure to ensure their feedback on service provision and future service development.
