Project Stakeholders

TERRA FORMA is a unifying project that, at the time of its submission in 2021, brought together :

  • 19 public research organizations,
  • 42 laboratories,
  • and nearly 150 contributors.

The project is structured around four main governance bodies :

  • an Executive Committee (steering and coordination),
  • a Supervisory Board (decision-making),
  • a Scientific Committee (advisory),
  • and a Stakeholder Committee, also referred to as the Operational Committee (advisory).

TERRA FORMA also fosters strong connections with related communities involved in other major PIA3/PEPR initiatives, national research infrastructures (RIs), and professional networks.
