Steering Committee

InterRidge has a Steering Committee comprising representatives of the member countries and of working group chairs that are scientists nominated for their expertise in a particular field. The Steering Committee meets at least once a year. However, due to outbreak of pandemic by Covid-19, the meeting is held online. The Steering Committee considers updates to its Science Plan, endorse InterRidge memberships, approves the budget, decides on membership fees, oversees the operation of the InterRidge Office, reviews bids for the InterRidge Office and nominates the Programs’ chair. It also evaluates working group progress, assess and admits/rejects working group proposals, and nominates the working group leaders. 

The InterRidge Steering Committee consists of members from the following nations: China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, Norway, and USA. Principal member nations have two members on the Steering Committee and regular member nations have one member on the Steering Committee. The current membership for 2022 is as follows.
