Organisation

The Steering Committee is responsible for running the programme - from selecting projects to scientific quality assurance and producing a synthesis at the end of the programme.

The programme managers and the president of the Steering Committee are responsible for the operational management. The head of knowledge transfer is responsible for communicating the research results to target audiences. The representative of the federal administration will work with the Steering Committee and communicate results to the administration.

The National Research Council of the SNSF is ultimately responsible for the NRP. The delegate of the Research Council acts as a link between the Research Council and the Steering Committee.
