MemBioMed Coordination

 

Figure 3 : MembioMed Coordination office (MCO)

The MCO is responsible for managing the internal affairs of the Programme and represents the Programme inside and outside the EU. The coordinating University, UniCA, appoints a Programme Coordinator and Co-coordinator and a Coordinator Officer. Each full partner Institution appoints a Local Academic Coordinator who will ensure the organization of teaching and the students’ facilities at their university. MCO is helped by two Local Academics that belong to their own universities forming Local sub-committees supporting Local Coordinators and the Coordinator Officer in carrying out their duties.  

  The MMB consists of the MCO and Local sub-committees and it is chaired by the Programme Coordinator. The MMB will manage administrative, financial and technical issues in the Consortium and in relation with the associated partners. It oversees the general working of the master programme (financial decisions, approval of the selections, overall organisation), is in charge of curriculum review, and in the development and educational quality assurance. 
  The eMMB will gather members of the MMB and representatives of the other MemBioMed Committees to discuss accomplishments, issues and goals for the MemBioMed Programme.  

 The others committees are:

• The Quality Assurance Committee (QAC) is responsible for monitoring and ensuring the quality and the effectiveness of the MemBioMed Programme.  
• The Advisory Committee (AC) plays a role in providing guidance and external expertise to enhance the quality, relevance, and alignment of the programme with industry needs.  
• The Selection and Examination Committee (SEC) shall oversee the application for the MemBioMed programme and the eligibility of applicants for the programme and Erasmus+ scholarships.
• The Student Committee (SC) plays an important role by representing the interests of students to the programme’s management and by providing a forum for students to discuss and address issues of concern.

  The MemBioMed project team is composed by Teachers, Lecturers, Researchers and Professors from 15 research groups among the three HEIs sharing a common interest in biomembranes but with complementarity in their expertise.
