Organisation

The supreme decision-making body of SDC is the Joint Managerial Committee (JMC). JMC consists of ten high level representatives equally divided between Denmark and China. JMC appoints the Chinese Principal Director and the Danish Executive Director, who are in charge of SDC's daily management. Two administrative units - one in China and one in Denmark - support the two directors in their work.

Each of SDC's five research themes is coordinated by a Chinese and a Danish Principal Coordinator (PC), who are responsible for developing the research and educational activities. Some research themes are developed into subthemes each headed by a Principal investigator (PI).
Within each area a Chinese and a Danish Head of Educational Programme (HEP) will take care of the overall planning of educational activities.

A SDC Academic College (SDCAC) will be established in order to ensure coordination of research and exchange of knowledge between different research themes. The SDCAC will consist of the two SDC Directors, the Principal Coordinators and the Heads of Educational Programmes.

Two advisory boards, the International Scientific Advisory Board (ISAB) and the Industry Advisory Board (IAB) will advice JMC and the two directors on matters related to research development and industry collaborations. To allow for student influence a Student Forum will be established.
