The current points of contact are Nial Tanvir (Chair of the GC) and Andrew Levan (Chair of the EC). The GC deals with the overall governance, policy and membership issues. The EC’s remit is to operationally run ENGRAVE as a functioning science consortium within the governance policies. The members of ENGRAVE are listed here and the process for gaining ENGRAVE membership is listed at the bottom of the page.
