Steering Committee: The 12-member Steering Committee, including the Network Convenor, will initially be chosen from the current core participants who have a proven track record of research management, who cover key research areas within the EII network, and who work from diverse locations around Australia. EII plans to have up to 50% of its Steering Committee membership rotated every two years to guarantee continuity of EII governance, to reflect evolution of the scope and directions of EII, and to promote early-career researchers. This committee will approve EII activities and expenditure, and decisions for network expansion, including setting up taskforces and appointing taskforce leaders.
