WISERD Steering Group
The role of the WISERD Steering Group is to monitor the overall direction of WISERD activities and offer advice on the achievement of its aims. It also plays a key role in the development of strategies to foster sustainability beyond the three years’ of initial funding.
The Steering Group meets bi-annually and is composed of the Pro Vice Chancellors of research for Aberystwyth, Bangor, Cardiff, Glamorgan and Swansea Universities as well as relevant Heads of Schools from the partner institutions.
