The Awards Board comprises fixed members from the consortium, the SJU, ASDA and NEXTOR II, with rotating membership from the industry partners. Each institution has one vote. The Awards Board will primarily vote on awards of PhDs/theses and of catalyst funds, in addition to other matters deemed to comprise an award, or as may be requested within the operation of the KTN by the SJU. Interdisciplinary experts may also be consulted. As a safeguard of neutrality, the Awards Board will be permanently chaired by EUROCONTROL, which has no financial interest in any of the decisions made and which will have a deciding vote in any split decisions.

On matters of potential conflict of interest, members shall abstain. Consortium members cannot vote on any award, for which they are a (co-)applicant (e.g. regarding PhDs/theses) and they are ineligible to apply for any catalyst funding.
