The governance
of BIG
The governance bodies of BIG
The main governance bodies of BIG, are the Operational Committee, and the Steering Committee.
- The role of the Operational Committee is to monitor the overall progress of the program’s objectives, and to bring together the partner companies. It meets every quarter, approximately, and provides guidance on the orientation of projects, possible synergies between deliverables, and so on.
- The Steering Committee is made up of the program’s founding companies, and, notably, institutional and community partners. It provides its expertise in the definition of the main orientations, and contributes to the influence of BIG.
Collaborative work first and foremost
The BIG program is based on the involvement of the various stakeholders interested in achieving its objectives: members of the teams of the partner companies, as well as expert organisations.
