The service provision and further development of Coscine takes place at the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University. It is a strategic open source process in which all users can participate.
The long-term goal of Coscine.nrw and Datastorage.nrw is to establish common governance structures. A first step in this direction is the establishment of a joint Advisory Board.
Tasks of the Advisory Board
- Review of reporting including the relevant key performance indicators (KPIs)
- Involvement in risk management for the early identification of potential risks and development opportunities
- Consultation on the prioritization of upcoming further developments
Composition and members of the Advisory Board
- Students
- University management
- CIO/CTO
- Academic staff
- Employees in technology & administration
- Data protection officers
- Staff representatives
- IT security & IT law
- State initiative for research data management (fdm.nrw)
- DH.NRW Office
The Advisory Board is confirmed by the user group and includes one representative of each interest group and a maximum of one member per university/university of applied sciences. The term of office is two years. The User Group is another part of Coscine’s governance, which meets every six months.
