The VCSE is organized as an open and flexible network with distributed responsibilities and with subsidiarity as its leading principle. Subsidiarity is the principle according to which matters ought to be handled by the lowest competent authority. Following this principle, as many as possible of the tasks involved in operating the virtual campus are the responsibility of the individual partners. Only those issues for which a joint approach is considered essential are handled at the level of the partnership. '''Table 1''' presents an overview of the various educational and organizational aspects of the virtual campus, and the level at which these are handled.
