InTribology Strategy Board
The strategy board is a panel within the scope of the COMET K2 project “InTribology” that is independent of all InTribology partners and the competence centre. The strategy committee consists of 5 people, with two members being selected by the corporate and scientific partners in conjunction, two members by the shareholders of the centre for excellence and the fifth member by the four previously nominated members. This means that at least two members bring a scientific perspective to the strategy board , and at least two members bring an economic point of view.
The task of the strategy board is, on the one hand, to regularly evaluate the implementation of the research programme in accordance with the grant agreements and desired target criteria, and on the other, to make recommendations if differing viewpoints of the InTribology agreement partners on the interpretation of the rules in the agreement were to occur.
