Man/Co

The DSI-NRF CoE-MaSS is managed on a day-to-day basis by a Management Committee. The Man/Co meets via electronic means (emails and videoconferences) as frequently as is required to address day-to-day running and management matters. Due to the nature of the management and administrative functions of the Centre taking place at the admin hub at Wits University, the Man/Co is comprised of Wits staff. It is, however, important to note that the Man/Co frequently call on the other three external Founding Node Leaders for assistance with funding decisions to ensure that the wider partners are also consulted on matters of importance.
