Executive Board

Within EIT RawMaterials, each Innovation Hub is locally supported by a Steering Committee. The committees consist of partner representatives, in each Innovation Hub. The Steering Committees provide guidance related to strategy and business planning, events planning, company policy and objectives, budgetary control, resource allocation and similar matters. Each Steering Committee is led by a Steering Committee Chair.

EIT RawMaterials Executive Board comprises members from core partners, external members and an external chair with relevant networks and industry experience. The Board serves as the Steering Board and, among other tasks, approves the annual business plan of EIT RawMaterials.
