Steering Group

The independent Steering Group is drawn from stakeholder and research communities. The Steering Group advises the Centre Director and BIS on the progress and strategic direction of the Centre. It is also responsible for monitoring the progress of programmes and projects against the agreed objectives, quality assurance and contributing to the communications and dissemination strategy of the outputs. It will meet regularly as the Centre develops and at least twice a year once it is established.
