The Wave Experiment Consortium is coordinated by a WEC Chairman, a duty which circulates between different groups:
 

Time period WEC Chairman Affiliation
        -1991 Alain Roux CETP
1992-1993 François Lefeuvre LPCE
1994-1995 Arne Pedersen ESTEC
1996-1998 Alain Roux CETP
1999- Per-Arne Lindqvist KTH

WEC Operations are coordinated by a WEC Operations Group, lead by Keith Yearby, University of Sheffield.

The scientific analysis of Cluster WEC data is done with ISDAT, an Interactive Science Data Analysis Tool developed at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics, Uppsala. Cluster Prime and Summary Parameters are obtainable from the Cluster Science Data System (CSDS).
