Steering Groups
At the heart of the Centre's activities are the three steering groups set up for each work package, where research directions and project proposals are discussed and projects recommended for implementation. The steering groups also follow up on the activities of the projects, receive reporting of results and discuss how best to take the results forward. Members are a mix of industry representatives with technical expertise in the field, active researchers within the Centre and representatives from relevant authorities.
