The administrative office includes a director, a project coordinator and an economist. The director has operational responsibility for day-to-day activities and chairs meetings of the executive group.

The administrative office administers REWHARD's joint activities, prepares documentation for the steering group and coordinates meetings and activities. The office also provides support in legal matters and works on making the consortium's data available in an ethically and legally sustainable way.
