Council of promotors
The PRCFP central management body is the Council of promoters (the so called "Dagelijks Bestuur"). This council meets every 3 months to discuss the research progress and broad valorisation events and prepares the meetings with the Steering Committee. It bears the final responsibility for the strategy, organization and outcomes of the PRCFP and monitors the global quality of the research. It decides how the research programme will be reorganised in case the Centre is confronted with considerable research management problems.
From 2014 onwards, the council of promoters will only gather the colleagues connected to the active tracks.
