CEEPUS is based on lean management. The highest ranking decision making CEEPUS body is the Joint Committee of Ministers that meets once a year and takes all strategic decisions. Coordination, evaluation, program development and advertizing are the main tasks of the Central CEEPUS Office (consisting of only two persons). Each country has a National CEEPUS Office in charge of national implementation. In order to avoid setting up new administrative bodies, the National CEEPUS Offices are integrated into already existing structures, usually national agencies. The main coordinators of the CEEPUS Networks supervise the activities within the Networks, edit the Network Report and the Netwok Application of each academic year. The local coordonators supervise the exchange activities and provide the necessary information to the main coordinator. The CEEPUS scholarships are payed by the host Country
