EGU Governance Review: Objectives

A governance review is an opportunity for the EGU to reflect on its governance arrangements in order to best serve
the current and future needs of the organisation, the members, the scientific community and global concerns.
In particular, the governance review will:

To review the governance processes and structures of the EGU, and make recommendations for any changes to
enable the organisation:
•   to best deliver its Mission and Vision
•   to best serve the current and future needs of the organisation and its members;
•   to ensure EGU structures deliver appropriate scientific and professional diversity and representation amongst
    EGU committees and boards
