Hitmobile Structure

CC HITMOBIL is composed from representatives of six scientific institute and one specialized unit of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, two non-profit legal entities and one university. 
Leading organization in the partnership is the Institute of Electrochemistry and Energy Systems „Acad. Evgeni Budevski” (IEES).

CC HITMOBIL will apply a "federal" type management of the research activities, including the plan to build the Center, which is suitable for the distributed infrastructure, including several partner institutions.

The common management of CC HITMOBIL should coordinate the quotidian activity of the infrastructure, the planning and construction of six innovative Laboratories and their functioning according to a concrete Working Program, conduct unified scientific policy, ensure qualification and pre-qualification conformed with the Centre’s, draw up short- and long-term strategies and business plans, ensure free access to the infrastructure etc. The range of activities and measures for the realization of management (incl. control, monitoring, flexible strategy for timely removal of reasons for non-implementation of the planned objectives) is very large. For this reason, a two-chamber management structure is planned for better operation, enhanced communication and protection from doubling or dropping of activities.
