Stakeholder steering committee

An external Stakeholder Steering Committee (SSC) has been appointed in 2015 by the LANDMARK Consortium. This committee meets annually with the LANDMARK consortium to oversee progress, facilitate a two-way flow of communication between LANDMARK and external stakeholders and ensure that project outcomes are relevant and ‘embedded’ in the stakeholder community. During those meetings, the SSC members participate in a process of ‘shared learning’ activities, workshops and field visits together with the project partners and the local stakeholders offering their expertise.

Please find below the list of past and actual SSC members:

1. The SCC members met for the first time past November 2015 in Rouen, France hosted by APCA & UNILASALLE partners for the LANDMARK Roundtable n 2 and learnt about LANDMARK through a series of shared learning events. The SCC has been invited to focus on their role and responsibilities towards the project and to reflect how they could contribute with their expertise, the outcome of each meeting is a two pages Feedback report here available.
