Organisation
Overview
The EMCDDA's organisation consists of a Directorate to manage the Centre, a number of statutory bodies to advise and assist in the decision making process, and, finally, the various working units (which comprises the majority of the EMCDDA's staff) to run the Centre and ultimately deliver its output (reports, briefings, etc.).
