Organisation

The Steering Committee is responsible for the implementation of the research programme – from project selection to scientific quality assurance and knowledge transfer. The President of the Steering Committee and the Programme Managers are responsible for the operational management. The Head of Knowledge Transfer is responsible for communication of the research results to stakeholders. The representatives of the federal government work with the Steering Committee and forward the findings within the administration.

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