UNENE Governance

UNENE is governed by a Board of Directors (BoD) with member representation from the funding industrial partners and universities. Two Advisory Committees; one on Education (EAC) and one on Research (RAC), manage and oversee the respective programs. The EAC and RAC committees consist of both Industry and University members. Both committee chairs report quarterly to the BoD on the status and results of research and educational activities.
