Governance

The governance of France Cohortes is based on :

  • A Cohorts Committee bringing together representatives of cohorts supported by France Cohortes. It serves as the project owner, is informed of ongoing work, expresses its vision of the infrastructure's priority development needs, and integrates and advises on identified challenges;
  • A Governance Committee comprising representatives of the overseeing institutions, ensuring strategic governance by validating the directions discussed in the steering committee and reporting on ongoing resource allocation decisions;
  • An International Scientific Committee composed of leading figures in the field: Arthur Tenenhaus (Centrale Supélec), Beatrice Fevers (Unicancer), Emmanuelle Génin (Inserm), John Gallacher (Oxford), Florian Naudet (Rennes), Martine Vrijheid (ISGlobal), Meredith O'Connor (Melbourne), Michelle Kelly (Inserm), Thomas Deroyon (DREES), and co-chaired by Valérie Siroux (Grenoble) and Yohann Foucher (Poitiers);
  • Thematic Working Groups with cohort experts, designed to provide detailed information, offer training, gather specific needs regarding developed tools, maintain technical and scientific watch, and share feedback on implemented services.
