It is led by the Coordinator and the Executive Board of the Unit (which oversee the implementation of the Unit's development strategy). Its scientific policy is defined by the Scientific Board, having heard the opinion of the Researchers Assembly and the External Evaluation and Scientific Advisory Board (formed by researchers outside the Research Unit).
