The development of ALLEGRO is governed by a consortium named the V4G4 Centre of Excellence, which was established in 2012 in Slovakia by its four founding members (alphabetically) – EK from Hungary, NCBJ from Poland, UJV Rez from the Czech Republic, and VUJE from Slovakia. It now has also two associated members – CEA from France and CVR from the Czech Republic. In 2019, the third level of participation in V4G4 CoE was established in the form of “officially collaborating organizations”. A selected member of V4G4 CoE is responsible for managing the contributions of each of the aforementioned organizations.

There are two governing bodies of V4G4 CoE called “Project Coordination Team” (PCT) and “Steering Committee” (SC). While PCT is responsible for the coordination of the technical tasks in R&D, SC makes strategic decisions and serves as the management board of the consortium.

In total, around 20 people are working on the project from the V4G4 member organizations and their associates, with an additional approximately 50 working on specific projects.
