Project Consortium Board (PCB)

The RADNEXT Project Consortium Board (PCB) is composed of the contractual beneficiaries and partners in the project. It is the top decision-making and arbitration body. It includes one representative per beneficiary and partner of the project and includes a Scientific Coordinator and two deputy Scientific Coordinators (ex-officio and without voting rights), who will be selected by the board members during the first RADNEXT PCB meeting. Each beneficiary has one vote and decisions will be taken by consensus and the majority of the votes, if consensus is not achieved.

The PCB has the authority to decide on project strategic issues such as modifications of the programme work (if applicable) and admission of new beneficiaries and partners. It will review and evaluate the progress of the project during the RADNEXT annual meetings, and will meet at least twice per year: once during the annual meeting, and on a second occasion via teleconference. Further meetings can be called by the Scientific Coordinator.

PCB Chair: Jan Budroweit (DLR)

User Selection Panel (USP)

The USP is an ad hoc panel composed of the SAP and IAP members, as well as the Transnational Access WP leaders (WP3, WP9 and WP10).

The USP evaluates Transnational Access proposals and assigns beam time to RADNEXT users. The USP will carry out its evaluation based on the scientific excellence of the proposals, their impact on the radiation effects community, the implementation description and feasibility. The USP will also consider the best match between the proposed activity, the characteristics and availability of the facilities, balancing the beam time allocation within the consortium. Representatives of the RADNEXT facilities may act as advisors for single proposals.

User Support Expert team (USE)

Requests by less-experienced users for a support in the feasibility evaluation of their proposals, are handled by the User Support Expert team (USE). USE supports these users in the drafting phase of TA proposals, and advice on project-specific aspects to avoid unrealistic planning, identify and decrease potential risks, and integrate the expert’s experience into the test plans.

Members:

• Michael Steffens,
  working on radiation effects in electronics, test methods and simulations at Fraunhofer INT since 2014
• Matteo Cecchetto,
  working on testing and simulation of radiation effects in the Radiation To Electronics (R2E) project at CERN since 2016
