Governance

© Andrew Hendry

bioGENESIS has a simple governance structure that enables efficient implementation of its activities. It also promotes integrative and interdisciplinary activities. The central governing body of bioGENESIS is the Scientific Committee (SC-bioGENESIS) nominated by the DIVERSITAS Scientific Committee on a proposition from the SC-bioGENESIS. It meets annually and decides upon policy and future research.

The decisions of the SC-bioGENESIS and the coordination of the project's activities are undertaken by the international project office (IPO).
