Governance
The project is coordinated by the French Chambers of Agriculture (APCA) with the support of the Management Board composed of the various Work Package leaders (UHOH, TEAGASC, AGRIDEA, ZLTO and EUFRAS) and the project’s financial advisor (CIRCA).
International Advisory board
The i2connect Management Board selected, in February 2021, the members of the International Advisory Board (IAB) as experts in supporting innovation in agriculture. Their role is to support the consortium with different advice and perspectives, to “see the big picture” and to ensure that the views of different stakeholders are effectively taken into account. IAB members may attend General Assembly meetings upon invitation but will not have any voting rights.
