The Co-PI is a scientist with a vested interest in the scientific success of the MOSAIC Project. He/she is entitled to replace the PI at any occasion if the PI is not present, and he/she assists him/her in the lead of the Project.

The main role of the Project Manager (PM) is to take overall responsibility for delivering the Project to time, cost and specification. He/she manages progress by each Party, coordinates all financial reporting and leads the Project Office with one or more deputies and assistants.

The Project Scientists (PS) leads the Science Team. He/she is the custodian of the Instrument Top Level Requirements and guides the instrument and science trade-offs during the design phase. He/she provides guidance to the Science Working Groups for the definition of the MOSAIC Core Projects for the GTO.

The MOSAIC Board has the role of assisting the PI in all the different phases and aspects of the Project. It is the supervisory structure of the Consortium entitled to take scientific, managerial and technical decisions that do not affect the contributions of the Parties. The members of the MOSAIC Board are the Co-Is, which represent each participating country.

The Institutional Board is the ultimate decision-making body of the Project. It monitors performance and progress of the Project. It ensures compliance with its schedule and decides on the solutions to be implemented in the event of problems with performance. All partners are represented.

The day-to-day project monitoring is centralized at the Project Office (PO) level. Its work is supported by a structure in “Channels”. There are three channels: Front-End, VIS and NIR (see more details below), with Channel PMs participating in the PO.

The System Team manages the technical requirements and verifications. Project architects are part of the System Team to organize and supervise the architecture and conception of the full instrument. The System Team is led by the System Engineer who is member of the Project Office.

The Manager Team is the encounter between the project management (monitoring of the full project), the WP managers and the national and institutional managers (monitoring of the national and local resources respectively). This match is very important to balance and prioritize the actions with respect to the resources. The manager pole is led by the Project Manager.

The Quality Assurance Team manages all the configuration control of the project and all the
Non-Conformance Reports and Waivers. The PA/QA manager is leading the group and is part of the Project Office.
