Management Committee
The Management Committee (MC) is the main decision body of a COST Action. It is composed by the group of representatives of all COST Member Countries, which have accepted the MoU. The MC is in charge of the coordination, implementation, and management of an Action’s activities as well as of supervising the appropriate allocation and use of the COST funding with a view to achieving the Action’s scientific and technological objectives.
The MC is comprised of up to two MC Members per COST country participating in the Action. Each MC member from COST Full or Cooperating Member Countries is nominated by their respective COST National Coordinator (CNC) according to national procedures. CNCs also nominate MC Substitutes that on occasions such as meetings can replace an unavailable MC member.
Action MC Observers may attend Action MC meetings and approved activities but do not have voting rights within the Action MC.
