Comprising three scientific coordinators and four operational members, the Executive Committee is the governing body of SHAPE-Med@Lyon. The Executive Committee implements the decisions taken by the Board of Directors, oversees the scientific aspects of the project, and coordinates calls for proposals and collaborations with socio-economic and international stakeholders. The Bureau also acts as the link between the Executive Board and the Scientific Council and Training Committee. It serves as a single point of contact for channelling requests for expertise from external partners (local authorities, industry, etc.) and for identifying potential research questions.
