OPERAS Created Coordination Team

OPERAS is led by a 9 member core group and currently has 40 members. The infrastructure will continue to grow in the coming months and therefore OPERAS is working to further establish itself under a legal framework as an International Non-Profit Organization (AISBL), incorporated in Brussels. As a legal entity, OPERAS’ need for coordination will once again grow, which is why the infrastructure has formalized its Coordination Team.

The Coordination Team acts as a service provider in charge of the daily management of the infrastructure, especially for the community and the OPERAS decision-making body, the Core Group. It prepares the different committees for the AISBL and it will in particular work on setting up the future assemblies. The Coordination Team is currently constituted of

• the two Coordinators
• the Project Manager for OPERAS-P
• the Project Manager for TRIPLE
• the Technical Coordinator
• the Citizen Science Officer
• the FAIR Data Officer
• the Communication Officer(s)

You can find more information on the members of the Coordination Team below and at our website. Please contact us (communication[at]operas-eu.org) for more information.
