J-PAS Collaboration Board

The Collaboration Board, CB, is the body with the authority for the development of the J-PAS Projects. These are representatives from the main institutions funding the Survey and is chaired by the representative of CEFCA. The CB will conduct periodic reviews of the J-PAS Projects, the J-PAS Data Management and Archiving (JPDMA), the Cameras Project, and the OAJ Project. The Collaboration Board will examine the Pipelines, as part of these reviews. The Collaboration Board will conduct readiness reviews of the T80Cam System, the JPCam System, JPDMA System, and the OAJ at times they deem appropriate.

Members of the CB:

Mariano Moles (Centro de Estudios de Física del Cosmos de Aragón)
Laerte Sodré (Universidade de São Paulo)
Renato Dupke (Observatorio Nacional de Río de Janeiro)
Narciso Benítez (Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía-CSIC)

Scientific Coordinators

The Project Science Coordinator together with the Project Science Co-Coordinator, have the overall responsibility for the coordination of the different projects of J-PAS and for carrying out the J-PAS Survey and scientific exploitation. They (i) coordinate the activities at the systems interfaces of the J-PAS Projects and the contributions of the Collaboration for the installation, commissioning and operation phases of the Survey; (ii) serve as the principal point of contact between the SMC and the Collaboration Board; (iii) represent the Collaboration in interactions with the Collaboration Board and the Collaborating Institution and are advised by the SMC on all matters relevant to the Collaboration.
