Governance

The plurality of public and private actors involved in this PERTE will require a particularly close interrelationship between all of them. Hence the need to establish a unique governance capable of ensuring effective collaboration between the public and private sectors, through the implementation of an open collaboration model based on two complementary bodies:

Interministerial Governance

An interministerial working group is created, chaired by the Minister of Science and Innovation, in which representatives of those ministries involved in the achievement of this PERTE will participate, in order to ensure the necessary collaboration and coordination between all of them and channel proposals for improvement, recommendations and observations regarding those initiatives that can support the efficient management of the PERTE, without prejudice to the management and approval powers that in each case hold the unit responsible for each action.

Alliance for the Aerospace PERTE

This Alliance is created as a discussion forum that will facilitate dialogue, participation and the exchange of ideas between the public and private sectors.

It will be chaired by the head of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, and will integrate the members of the interministerial body described, the Autonomous Communities, Public Research Agencies (CSIC, IAC), as well as the representatives of the most outstanding sector: Spanish Association of Defense, Aeronautics and Space Technologies (TEDAE), Spanish Aerospace Technology Platform (PAE) and other business associations and trade union organizations with relevance in the sector.

The global and transnational nature of the aerospace sector, explicitly reflected in the configuration of various actions of this PERTE, requires that the main international actors with competences in the sector be included in the Governance model of this strategic project. For this purpose, on the proposal of the Presidency, the interministerial collegiate body may include among its ordinary representatives, whenever deemed appropriate, a representative of the European Space Agency with executive rank and qualified for decision-making, a representative of the Government of the Portuguese Republic, with a rank comparable to that of Director-General in the Government of Spain, as well as the coordinating adviser of the Permanent Representation of Spain to the EU competent with regard to the Space Competitiveness Councils or other matters whose presence is considered relevant.
