Participating parties, project management and centre function
The scientific participants in NEOMUNE are divided into partners, affiliated partners and collaborators, all included due to scientific merits and their relation to specific work package(s). NEOMUNE is open to flexibility with regards to new collaborators and role in the project period as required for completion of the work. Work of collaborators, not pre-allocated a budget, will be financed by the pool of laboratory and undistributed funding. The NEOMUNE network will be used to apply for further funding as required.
Central for NEOMUNE is the Management Group, chaired by the centre director Per Sangild. The Management Group is supported by an academic project administrator Stine Bering, and interacts closely with Governing Board and Scientific Advisory Board.
Each Management Group member is assigned as chair person for a specific work package or a central research field. For key persons within each work package or research field, please refer to the description of the work packages.
Management Group
The members of the MG represent the main work areas from infants (Gorm Greisen), pigs (Thomass Thymann) and mice (Hanne Frøkiær) to the important milk and microbiota analyses (Dennis Nielsen).
Governing Board (Strategic Advisory Board)
The Governing Board is formed to enable to the greatest possible long term, strategic impact of the project. It will handle the major strategic decisions regarding a) project leadership and partner structure, b) long-term financial considerations, c) ethical and legal challenges, d) infrastructure and buildings, and e) legal contracts among universities, hospitals, industries.
Scientific Advisory Board
The SAB is formed to provide critical inputs into the scientific quality of NEOMUNE at all work package levels. It consists of top international experts in all the fields related to NEOMUNE: nutrition, gut, microbiology, immunology and brain in infants, piglets and mice.
