Project oversight

FUTURAGE was governed through two processes; the network steering committee and the council of scientists.

Network steering committee

The NSC members comprise the workstream leaders of the various themes being explored under FUTURAGE, the project Coordinator, and two representatives from ERA-AGE 2. They are:

Council of Scientists

The Council of Scientists (CoS) for the FUTURAGE project were drawn from project leaders of other major European projects. The aim of the CoS was to provide high-level oversight over FUTURAGE outputs. The CoS embodied European ageing research over the past decade, from previous CAs, SSAs and major research projects.

The role of the CoS was to review and quality control the outputs from the scientific and user involvement workshops, to ensure that the road map is definitive in terms of both scientific validity and societal need.
