CMIP Steering Committee
The Steering Committee assesses potential projects, keeps a finger on the pulse of the roadmaps, and determines the scope and timing of the project calls. Blue Cluster also informs the Steering Committee members about project calls for other programmes.
Meetings
The Steering Committee convenes approximately five times a year in an open, constructive atmosphere. The meetings are chaired in turns by a company appointed by the Board of Directors.
Decisions
Any decisions on projects are taken upon advice from and on the basis of scoring by Blue Cluster itself. For projects with significant scientific input (cSBRs, ICRs, etc.) advice is also provided by the Scientific Advisory Board.
