Management Board and SEB

The SyBIT Management Board is elected by the SystemsX.ch Executive Board. There are currently 3 members in the management board (see below).

Coordination Team and Project Manager

As the name suggests, the Coordination Team is responsible for the coordination of SyBIT. It is led by the SyBIT Project Manager. It reports to the Management Board and is constituted by delegates of the participating SyBIT partner institutes. Projects are approved and monitored by the Coordination Team.

Partner Institutions and SystemsX.ch RTDs

The SyBIT partner institutions are tightly collaborating with SyBIT and participate in all major decisions concerning strategy and planning of the project. SyBIT is funding people at most of these institutions or is ready to invest into joint projects. The SyBIT projects are always very closely tied to the SystemsX.ch Research, Technology and Development (RTD) project's needs.

SyBIT Projects

The SyBIT projects are initiated directly by the RTDs or the Communities. Internal SyBIT projects are also possible when clear needs are identified. For each SyBIT project members of SyBIT and members of the RTDs or Communities will closely cooperate and work together on the project's goals. Optimally, the projects are led by the RTDs to assure that the project results are relevant and are put to immediate use.

Communities

The SyBIT partner institutions are already experts in technology and platform provisioning and support. In order to generate economies of scale and foster information exchange, SyBIT will attach itself to existing interest groups or create new ones involving the relevant partners for each pipeline. The teams discuss standards, common best practice and strategic joint developments. SyBIT projects can also be initiated by the pipeline teams. One special pipeline team is the computing infrastructure team, with representatives of the computing and storage resource providers of all participating institutions.

User Forum

The RTDs can provide additional feedback on SyBIT through the User Forum. The forum is organised as a workshop at least once a year where results are shown, issues and concerns are shared and fed back to SyBIT.
