The Knowledge Board

The consortium is guided by a Knowledge Board, which is made up of consortium partners and external experts. The Knowledge Board, consisting of a minimum of 9 and a maximum of 15 experienced and qualified scientists, researchers, and experts in the field of soil health and sustainable management, directs scientific and technical decisions and guide our approaches. The partner countries have at least one representative on the Knowledge Board.
The Knowledge Board holds regular meetings at least once a year or as needed.
The establishment of the Knowledge Board is completed after the signature of a Collaboration Agreement among the external and internal members.
