The Role of the Energy SUPERSTORE Advisory Board

The Hub is run by the Management Board and has two streams of advice

• the Science Board (UK academics eligible to receive EPSRC funding). The SB plays

a key role in peer reviewing flexible funding proposals. Membership is by invitation from the Director. The SB currently stands at 106 academics, and will evolve over time.

• the Advisory Board (key Industry and Government stakeholders). To date the AB

is constituted from partners who gave letters of support to the Hub, but additional members can be added over time with the agreement of the MB and the AB.

“The Advisory Board will meet twice per annum, once for a strategy meeting with the Management Board where progress will be reviewed and future priorities discussed, the other alongside the annual conference where research can be presented and discussed. The terms of reference for the Advisory Board will be to offer advice to the Management Board on research priorities, on hub extension

• pportunities including funding, and on key technology trends in industry, both in the UK and
• internationally. In addition the Advisory Board will play a key role in providing external governance on

the actions of the Hub and its Management Board, and will specifically act as a source of independent governance of the award of the flexible funding to be awarded through the Hub to introduce new research activity over time. The Advisory Board Chair will also hold informal meetings with the PI as required to provide advice, support and guidance outside the regular cycle of meetings; the Chair will also help the PI in any cases of dispute with regard to flexible funding, resource division between partners, etc.”

The role of the Advisory Board

• Input to and inform the strategic priorities for energy storage

research in the UK. This helps support RCUK/DECC/Innovate UK etc in defining the critical challenges where support for world class science and engineering is needed in UK universities.

• Help the Hub prioritise the events, workshops etc that are held

to promote energy storage research, and bring the community together – including international engagement.

• Offer advice and governance over the awards of the Hub’s

flexible funding.

• Support the Hub Director in the event of internal disputes

between partners.
