Governance-framework

LETHICA will implement a governance-framework based on one director and four collaborative assemblies: an Executive Committee, a Steering Committee for research and training (strategic committee) and a Scientific Counsel (external experts and internal coordinator). All members of LETHICA will also meet annually during a General Assembly.

The Executive Committee is composed of the Coordinator, of the supervisors for each LETHICA perspective and of the scientific counsel’s coordinator.
- The EC appoints LETHICA’s coordinator
- The EC settles LETHICA’s strategy, following the advice given by the steering committee
- The EC allocates resources and arbitrates between competing uses of funds, if necessary. The EC may suggest evolutive adjustments among the research programs : cancellations, modifications, or adjunctions
- The EC assesses LETHICA’s achievements and monitors the implementation of the quality insurance system (balance sheet and annual indicators)
- The EC designs the content of the newsletter (produced and distributed by the research engineer or project manager)
- The EC supervises the elaboration and the follow-up of the LETHICTIONARY
 

The Steering Committee for Research and Training is comprised of appointed representatives of each faculty/college (“composantes”), of representatives of doctoral schools, of a representative of the CEERE (European Center of Research and Studies on Ethics) or of Ethics Master-Program, of a representative of the IDIP (Institute of the Development of Innovative Pedagogy), of the supervisors for each LETHICA perspective, of appointed representatives of participating research units, and of LETHICA’s director.
- The SCRT proposes strategic orientations and alerts the executive committee to potential difficulties
- The SCRT defines the job profiles (and eventually research fields) for contracts (doctoral and postdoctoral contracts, project manager, administrative staff) ; it considers the applicants to those positions, and selects the candidates (interviews) ; it finally establishes a ranked list
- The SCRT supervises the quality insurance system (on the basis of reports by project supervisors (working in pairs) and of group members designated to handle particular “locking points” and “challenges”)

The Scientific Counsel is comprised of external experts and of an internal coordinator and LETHICA member.
- The SC assesses the research project, taking into account its interdisciplinary dimension, its relevance to LETHICA’s four main topics and perspectives (two expert rapporteurs per project)
- The SC gives advices and ranks the projects applying for the resources allocated by the EC
