2.5 Organisation model

To continue the existing network also after the expiration of the investing time of three years by the European Union in May 2007 and the partner organisations, the creation and maintenance of a network “eHealth for Regions” is necessary. On the basis of the results and the built network of persons and organisations, the partners will establish sustainable co-operation structures consisting of a Political Strategic Board, an Executive Steering Committee and a Management Secretariat.

The network of international partners will gain from these organisational structures to co-operate in concrete cross-border projects in future. According to the needs of each project and subject fields necessary business cases will be developed (see graphic).

Political Strategic Board

Executive Steering Committee
The future tasks of the Executive Steering Committee will be:

  • to control the work of the Management Secretariat
  • to control the budget and goal achievement
  • to support actively the progress of the single projects
  • to prepare the decisions of the Political Strategic Board
  • to ensure that all network partners informed about the latest status of activities, progress and changes on regular
  • to decide about the dissemination activities of the network.

One representative of each partner should take part in the Executive Steering Committee meetings. Each country which has partners in the network has one vote in the Executive Steering Committee.

Management Secretariat
The future tasks of the secretariat will be:

  • to support operationally the work of the Political Strategic Board and the Executive Steering Committee
  • to develop an annual dissemination plan
  • to maintain the homepage of the network
  • to give the Executive Steering Committee an overview about released EU-programmes funds on regular basis.

Project level
The partners will constantly develop new project ideas for cross-border and transnational co-operation in the field of eHealth. They will benefit from the described structures to find partners, build on experiences, knowledge and resources.
