The governance model we propose relies on twin principles of transparency and accountability, implemented through a Member Representative Board that serves as a guardian of the institution’s mission. Two independent expert boards—Mission Alignment and Scaling & Deployment—would serve as operational mirrors, ensuring work stays aligned with goals and institutional values through public feedback loops. While these boards provide crucial guidance, ultimate control would remain with member countries, initially comprising EU/EEA states and trusted Horizon Europe partners like the UK, Switzerland, and Canada. A tiered membership structure could enable future broadening while protecting sensitive technology.
