The Joint Programme Board (JPB) oversees the organisation of the Consortium. It is responsible for the coordination of the delivery, monitoring, evaluation, development and overall arrangements for Quality Assurance of the Programmes.

The permanent members of the JPB are the National Coordinators and a representative from each of the Partner Research Institutions. Each year, two student representatives are included in the JPB, as well as administrative staff. Additional members may be co-opted to the JPB, as necessary, to cover the various disciplines integrated into the Programmes, or to obtain input from industry and Associated Partners.
