Project Management

The management of the LCG-Project is composed of two boards: the Executive Board (Comité de Pilotage) and the Management Board (Conseil de Direction). In addition, the Scientific and Technical leaders have the operational responsibility of the project. The roles of each one of these bodies are detailed in the LCG-France project description document.

These sections present the membership of those boards.
