Governance & structure
Our commitment to excellence extends to our governance arrangements by adopting best practice from the charity sector and from the corporate sector where appropriate.
Our Board membership reflects the need to have both strong scientific as well as business representation (see People for our Board composition).
In addition to the main Board we have four committees:
- Audit & Finance Committee
- Innovation Committee
- Remuneration Committee
- Science Advisory Council
