Who we are
Our governance
The Biosecurity Commons project governance group consists of a Steering Committee (SC) and an Expert Panel (EP). The SC and EP are made up of representatives from our partnering and collaborating institutions and are experts in a range of fields including biosecurity, environmental management, and scientific modelling.
As a major collaborator to EcoCommons, Biosecurity Commons also has representatives on the EcoCommons Advisory Board (ECAB) and the Technical Support Group (TSG).
