Steering & IP & Education Committees

Steering Committee

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.

The present chairs are:

Rose-Marie Yttergren, Höganäs, Innovation Hub Baltic Sea

Etienne Bouyer, The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), Innovation Hub Central

Prof. Katerina Adam, NTUA, Innovation Hub East

Linus Brander, RISE, Innovation Hub North

Francisco Javier Elorza, Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM), Innovation Hub South

Marion Bechtold, KU Leuven, Innovation Hub West

Intellectual Property Committee

On 25 September 2015, the General Assembly of EIT RawMaterials e.V. unanimously approved the IP Committee of our Innovation Community. EIT RawMaterials gratitude goes out to them for their continued contributions and support.

The mandate of the IP Committee includes, amongst others things, advising the General Assembly, the Executive Board and the Management Team of EIT RawMaterials regarding any sort of IP issues that are related to the management of our KIC (Knowledge and Innovation Community) and of the projects of our partners. The Committee also supports the further development of the activity-specific IP rules, which will be communicated to our KIC ecosystem as soon as possible.
