The GISELA Consortium Board (CB), composed of one representative per Partner, is the forum for decision and policy-making and represents the ultimate authority of the Project. It guarantees the fulfilment of the GISELA commitments towards the European Commission and the Partner Countries. It ensures the correct use of resources and the progress of the work. It is chaired by the Director General of the Coordinating Institution of the Project (CIEMAT).

The project is run by the Project Coordinator, the Management Board (MB), the Technical Coordinator and the Technical Board (TB).
