ARC Centre of Excellence for Core to Crust Fluid SystemsGovernance and management
Centre Director Professor Suzanne O’Reilly is supported by a Chief Operating Officer and a Business and Development Officer. Professor O’Reilly provides scientific leadership and strategic direction for the Centre. Node Directors administer the CU and UWA nodes and are responsible for providing leadership in their respective nodes, bringing together researchers to form a coherent team with a shared vision of the whole CoE’s aims and objectives. The Geological Survey of Western Australia has a nominated representative.
Professor O’Reilly chairs an Executive Committee which guides the Advisory Board and Centre Director on the appropriateness of the research strategies, reports on progress in achieving aims as well as structure and general operating principles, and identifies and protects the Centre IP. A new Executive position of Centre Research Coordinator was introduced in 2013, taken on by the targeted MQ appointment of Professor Stephen Foley.
The Advisory Board includes senior representatives from industry and other end users such as Geoscience Australia. This model has proven highly productive during the lifetimes of the GEMOC Key Centre and CET. The Board meets at least annually to provide advice on the research program and governance, and any other matters relevant to CCFS. The six external members of the Advisory Board are actively engaged and supportive of CCFS (95% attendance at meetings) and extensively workshopped the new vision statement to reflect the national benefit deriving from the fundamental research in CCFS.
The Science Advisory Committee has a rotating membership and primarily evaluates the Centre’s research, in particular its research strategies, structure and outcomes.
