Governance and Board of HMC
The HMC Board helps shaping the overall direction of the Helmholtz Metadaten Collaboration. Learn more about the minds behind HMC.
The HMC governance structure is predefined by Helmholtz and identical for all incubator platforms. It includes three bodies: the Collaboration Board, which oversees the operation of HMC; the Steering Board, which acts as the interface to the Helmholtz Members Assembly; and the international Scientific Advisory Board, which provides independent high-level advice on progress and activities.
Collaboration Board
The Collaboration Board oversees daily operations and consists of representatives from each of the six HMC partner centres. The Collaboration Board meets monthly summoned by the HMC speaker.
Steering Board
The Steering Board (SB) was appointed by the Helmholtz member’s assembly and comprises delegates from the six Helmholtz research areas, plus one representative from the Helmholtz Open Science Office. The Steering Board meets twice a year to oversee the HMC project call, HMC annual reporting, and to give advice.
