Management Committee

Members

The Management Committee (MC) is composed of the twelve Vice-Rectors for Internationalisation and UNITA Office Managers from each partner university, and also includes the Executive Coordinator and the UNITA Office Coordinator.

Role

The MC is the operational decisional body, creating links between decisions and actions and/or instances. It is in charge of the overall coordination for the UNITA project implementation, operational decision-making and budget compliance. Is responsible of monitoring the Task Teams work by means of Task progress continuous reporting.

Frequency

The MC (T1.2) meets every 4th week of the month, on Thursday at 11 am CET.
The MC meets at least once per semester physically and at least each month by videoconference; the meetings will take place in turn in the full partner Universities and in the same place as the GB meeting every year. The MC receives decisions and recommendations from the GB, and it works closely with the [[Student_Assembly|Students Assembly] to make proposals and with the QEB to follow the monitoring and thus to quickly take corrective actions.

Each Member present or represented has one vote.
