MRI Governance

The MRI Board (Chair and co-Principal Investigators), together with the MRI Science Leadership Council and the MRI Executive Director, constitute the MRI Governing Body. Together, they oversee and provide strategic direction and advice to support the implementation and development of both flagship and community-led activities, with the support of the Coordination Office staff.

As a team, we focus on supporting the mountain research community in making meaningful and fulfilling connections for our changing mountains and safeguarding them as social-ecological treasures for ecosystems and people worldwide.
