Governance & Management

 

EPR is a democratically governed organisation with its own independent management structures and Constitution. The platform is registered under Belgian law as a not-for-profit association (ASBL, Reg. no. 864922670), and its secretariat is based in Brussels.

 

The organisational framework of EPR is set around three Pillars - Professional Development, Research & Innovation and Public Affairs.

 

It consists of five levels - Supervisory, Management, Operational, Dissemination and ultimately the target group. The members and their staff and the sector itself are the ultimate target groups and beneficiaries of all EPR activities.

 

 

 

 

Supervision and dissemination is organised in a global way for all Pillars through the same bodies and mechanisms. Supervision is an exclusive competence of the Directors while dissemination takes place both at EPR and centre level. 

 

The more detailed management of the activities is organised per Pillar, and in the hands of smaller bodies composed of nominated Directors and experts. The management level has full responsibility and can take all decisions within the strategic and financial framework set out by the Board of Directors. They also coordinate the various activities within one Pillar.

 

The operational level consists of the teams and units actually carrying out the tasks, and is organised per activity within each Pillar. The functioning of the main structures at supervisory, management, operational and dissemination level is set out below.

 

The EPR secretariat supports all organisational structures at all levels and for all Pillars.
