The HPC.NRW management committee consists of four elected representatives from the project members, with at least one Tier-2 location required. The consortium leader, RWTH Aachen University, is a permanent member. In addition to these five voting members, the four work package coordinators (non-voting) are also part of the committee. The committee oversees the entire project, coordinates significant changes to work package structure and tasks, and allocates funds in collaboration with the HPC working group. It represents the competence network in DH.NRW committees, prepares and conducts internal and external evaluations, and serves as an escalation body for unresolved decisions within the consortium.
