Governance

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

Inter-ministerial Governance

An inter-ministerial working group is created, chaired by the Minister of Science and Innovation, in which representatives of Ministries involved in achieving this PERTE will participate in order to guarantee the necessary collaboration and coordination and to channel proposals for improvement, recommendations and observations relating to initiatives that can support the efficient management of the PERTE, without prejudice to the management and approval powers held in each case by the unit responsible for each action.

Alliance for PERTE Aerospace

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 include the members of the interministerial body described above, the Autonomous Regions, Public Research Bodies (CSIC, IAC), as well as the most prominent sector representatives: Spanish Association of Defence, Aeronautical and Space Technologies (TEDAE), Spanish Aerospace Technology Platform (PAE) and other business associations and trade union organisations 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 agents with competencies in the sector be included in the Governance model of this strategic project. At the proposal of the presidency and when deemed appropriate, the inter-ministerial collegial body may include among its ordinary representatives 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 advisor of the Permanent Representation of Spain to the EU competent for the Space Competitiveness Councils or others matters whose presence is considered relevant.
