Governance

Governance

The OZCAR’s governance aims to ensure the implementation of the scientific objectives defined by the infrastructure. This governance is based on a Coordination Cell, an Executive Committee, a Steering Committee and a Scientific Council.
Furthermore, the OZCAR-RI and the RZA-RI (Réseau des Zones Ateliers) form eLTER-France, the french mirror of the European Infrastructure eLTER-RI. eLTER-France has also set up a governance structure consisting of an eLTER-France board, a CoreTeam and a Steering Committee, supplemented by a committee bringing together the heads of the two RIs and the eLTER-France coordination.
