The Steering Committee will meet twice a year with a target of 20 members in attendance. The principal role of Steering Committee meetings will be to discuss themes of funding calls and to decide on the content for meetings and workshops whilst identifying individuals or companies who can lead in organising these events.
We have consciously drawn on collaborators and colleagues from the geographical South and North to facilitate levelling up and advancing industrial collaboration throughout the UK.
Minutes of meetings will be available online to INFORM Hub members.
