Central Hub

Under the leadership of the Director General, the Central Hub (CH) is the heart of the strategy, coordination, communication and administration of AnaEE. It coordinates the overall infrastructure and manages the AnaEE web portal which will give access to all the resources and services of the infrastructure. With a distributed infrastructure including over 100 national installations, 3 supranational Service Centres and a variety of users and stakeholders, the development and operation of this Central Hub is crucial for the success of AnaEE.

Finally, the CH is a warrant of the quality of AnaEE services and products, and will ensure that quality is a main driver at all stages.
