Strategic Board

The Strategic Board for ERN eUROGEN is chaired by the healthcare provider (HCP) Network Coordinator Representative and includes one representative from each of our healthcare provider (HCP) Full Members and Affiliated Partners (Associated National Centers and National Coordination Hubs) and the Chair of our ERN Patient Advocacy Group (ePAG). Members of the Board may appoint a deputy if they are not able to attend a Strategic Board meeting. Decisions will be taken by consensus or a majority agreement of 80%. The Strategic Board is responsible for discussing strategic issues relating to the development and expansion of the activities of the ERN, such as new applications from Full Members and Affiliated Partners and initiatives relating to all of ERN eUROGENs’ Work Packages.

Operational Board

The Operational Board is comprised of the Network Coordinator, the Programme Manager, the three Workstream Leads, a representative of the EAU Guidelines Office, a European Patient Advocacy Group (ePAG) representative, and the Clinical, Research and Educational Leads for each workstream. An ex officio position is available to a representative of the European Commission. Where added value can be achieved, other ERN networks will be invited to be represented. The Operational Board will report and make recommendations to the Strategic Board for ERN eUROGEN. The Operational Board meets more frequently (three times a year) than the Strategic Board (once a year). Workstream Leads hold monthly (WS1 & WS3) or quarterly meetings (WS2) via videoconferencing.
