The Action IS1102 was coordinated through a typical COST management structure. The organisational Structure of this Action was as follows:

 

Management Committee (MC)

The Management Committee(MC) was the main decisional body of the Action. It decided about any major financial issues (e.g. allocation of the annual budget) or scientific activities (conferences, workshops, STSM, etc.) and elected or nominated people for defined tasks (e.g., chair and vice chair of the Action, WG leaders, etc.). The MC met at least once a year, in connection with a scientific meeting. Each country participated in the Action delegating up to two effective MC members, and up to two MC substitute members.

The Management Committee was coordinated by the Chair and the Vice Chair. They were responsible for the Action as a whole,  coordinating the scientific activities, overseeing outcomes and ensuring visibility of the network.

Working Groups Steering Commitee (WGSC)

The Working Groups Steering Committee (WGSC) was a more agile coordinating structure, which advised the MC and implemented its decisions. It especially ensured: scientific coordination of the Tasks; harmonisation of the methodological frameworks and WGs activities; efficient horizontal interaction among parties.

The WGSC was composed of Chair, Vice-chair, Leaders and Co-leaders of the WGs. In the first year only the WG1 Leader and Co-leaders, as well as the WG4 Leader, were included; with the advancement of the Action, Leaders and Co-Leaders of the subsequent WGs were added to the Steering Committee.

From the second year to the end of the Action (2013-2016) the WGSC was composed of:

 

Working Groups (WGs)

The Working Groups(WGs) ensured the implementation of the four Tasks in the Scientific Programme (for more details see individual WG pages). There were four WGs, each coordinated by a WG Leader and Co-leaders, who ensured the coordination of the activities. The first three WGs were sequential; the fourth WG (Dissemination) was transversal.

Dissemination Board (DB)

The Dissemination Board  ensured the implementation of the Action’s dissemination strategy. It implemented and monitored the Action Website and coordinated the valorization of the Action’s results on the website, in the local press, and in scientific journals and publications. 

The Dissemination Board was composed by:

 

Short-term Scientific Missions Committee (STSMC)

The STSMC coordinated the scientific missions and stages of the Action’s researchers in other participant institutions. Its main tasks was to organise annual calls and select candidates applying for STSM, according to the Action internal regulation and with particular attention to Early Stage Researchers.

The STSMC was also in charge of the selection of the Action’s applicants for the Early Stage Conference Grant awarded three times a year by the COST Office.
