Governance

SIPS will be established as a non-profit association, the founding members of which are higher education institutions. Member organisations provide contributions (shared infrastructure and personnel), take part in the governance of SIPS, and ensure the functioning of the infrastructure.

The day-to-day operation of SIPS is controlled by a Director supported by a Board representing the platforms which guides the organisation in a multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary approach.

The governance, platforms and user community of SIPS interact tightly for the benefit of planetary sciences in Switzerland.
