In-Kind Contributions
In-Kind Support for Alternet
Alternet Steering Committee
Each of Alternet’s core activities is supported by the leadership of an appointed member of the Alternet Steering Committee. The Steering Committee members work to deliver action proposals and recommendations to the Alternet Council–and then work throughout the year to carry out those action plans. Steering Committee members work on an in-kind basis and meet several times throughout the year with at least one in-person meeting held annually.
The following institutes offer contribute in-kind through their service on the Steering Committee:
- UFZ (2x), Creaf (2x), INRAE (2x), UK-CEH (2x), CESAM, ESSRG, IAES (EMU), INBO, SYKE, IGB
