HBP Governance: Underlying Factors and Principles Sample Clauses

HBP Governance: Underlying Factors and Principles. The HBP has evolved considerably since the Project was accepted by the European Commission (EC) in 2012. Originally conceived as a straightforward EC-funded, single- consortium research project under FP7 rules, albeit on a larger scale than usual and with a longer timeframe, it has evolved into a broader, more complex Flagship Initiative, with an EC-funded Core Project (equivalent to the original consortium) plus Member State-funded Partnering Projects. Whatever the future evolution of the HBP, it will remain a science- driven project. In addition, the goal of the HBP is now shifting more explicitly in the direction of building an enduring European scientific infrastructure. Given that EU infrastructure projects are funded and managed rather differently from research projects, this shift has had a profound influence on the new HBP governance arrangements outlined here. The HBP governance should also ensure a clear “separation of powers” (see next section below), to implement the principle that the people who decide the allocation of money within the Project should not be the ones who are responsible for spending it. Finally, the HBP should ensure that its governance structure is transparent and simple, fairly represents Partner organizations, funders and other stakeholders, and provides adequate accountability to all these parties, as well as including appropriate mechanisms for resolving conflicts. In addressing the governance imperatives outlined above, the HBP also had to take into account the fact that EC-funded projects operate under different rules and expectations from those funded by Member States. Because of the complexity of this challenge, the HBP formed an external advisory Governance Working Group (GWG), comprising the heads of various large EU or Member State research infrastructure bodies, such as the CEA (France), CERN, EMBL, ESA, ESRF, ESFRI, Helmholtz (Germany) and NHS (UK). The GWG unequivocally advised the HBP to adopt a single governance structure, built around a European infrastructure model, such as the European Research Infrastructure Consortium (XXXX) framework. Described below is the HBP’s new governance structure. Central to this is the creation of a Legal Entity, to assume the role of Coordinator for the HBP and assure the continuity of the HBP as a major European scientific research infrastructure. The description starts with the arrangements envisaged once the HBP Legal Entity is operational. However, the Legal Entity cannot b...
