Governance

The MedECC governing entities are the co-Coordinators, the Steering Committee, and the Advisory Board. All MedECC work is overseen and managed by the Co-Coordinators. The Steering Committee is the core of the governance of MedECC. The Steering Committee members are experts and scientists who represent all major scientific disciplines relevant to the goals of MedECC. They are present in personal capacity – they do not represent any institution or country.

The Advisory Board aims at facilitating the dialogue between the MedECC scientific community, and stakeholders and institutions within the Mediterranean region. UfM Secretariat (UfMS), UNEP/MAP and Plan Bleu/RAC have a permanent seat.
