The human capital of the DCVA consists of all employees of the DCVA partner organizations who actively contribute to the activities that are facilitated the DCVA. Meanwhile, in the DCVA we currently have 24 partner organizations, which meet 4 times a year in the Partner Assembly (in person) and Partners and Pillars meeting (online). The activities of all partners are divided into 6 pillars with a total of 7 permanent working groups, 3 committees or steering groups, and we support more than 30 national research consortia.
A compact DCVA organization has been established to help bring partners' agendas together, contribute to engagement and knowledge exchange among partners, and facilitate the development and implementation of the annual plan. The Program Management Team (PMT) of the DCVA is responsible for alliance management, and supporting and communicating all these activities. The chairs of the pillars, together with the PMT, form the steering committee of the DCVA and consult once a month on the progress of the activities and cooperation between the pillars. The PMT and the steering committee are supported by the project managers. In addition, the DCVA has a Supervisory Board.
