Organization
The project is coordinated by the Principal Investigator, who is assisted by two internal control bodies (the Steering Commitee and the Board of the Work-Packages Coordinators) in charge of monitoring the advancements of the research activities. The assessment of the achievements of the research activity and of the quality of the results is established through the appointment of two external independent Referees.
PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
N. Fornengo (University of Torino)
STEERING COMMITEE
Formed by the 8 Research Units Coordinators, the Steering Committee meets regularly to guide the direction of the research activities, also in response to developments in the field; sets up integration among the Research Units and with the international astroparticle physics community.
