Organization

The Institute of the origins of Lyon (LIO), is a project which brings together 18 teams from four research units of excellence: le Centre de Recherche Astrophysique de Lyon, l'Institut de Physique des 2 Infinis de Lyon, le Laboratoire de Géologie de Lyon - Terre, Planètes, Environnement, le Laboratoire de Physique de l'ENS de Lyon and the COMET joint service unit; or approximately 205 researchers and teachers, engineers, technicians and permanent administrative staff.
 

CRAL is a laboratory working on fundamental research in astrophysics and in developing instrumentations for major observatories.

The LIO Steering Committee is organized by the University of Lyon to supervise the overall compliance of the LIO project with its overall goal and its objectives, as well as its overall budget schedule. 

The LIO Science Board supervises the development of the LIO project (research, R&D, training, technology transfer) and advises the Executive Committee on the scientific advances in the disciplines covered by LIO. It is also responsible for defining profiles and selecting candidates for the International Post-Doctoral Program (IPP) and defining themes for international conferences and summer schools. The Scientific Council is composed of 25 members: the Directors of the 4 laboratories, 11 members elected from researchers in LIO teams, and 10 members outside the laboratories.

The LIO Executive Committee, working under the project’s Scientific Coordinator, is responsible for the operational implementation of LIO actions. The Committee includes the Directors of the four founding laboratories (assisted by one Deputy Director per laboratory). Leads will be named for each of LIO’s action programs, and will join the Executive Committee for implementing the corresponding actions. The Executive Committee, chaired by the Scientific Coordinator, meets at least six times a year.
