The BBI JU Governing Board is the main decision-making body of the BBI JU. It carries the overall responsibility for the operations of the undertaking: implementation of activities, approval of the annual implementation plan, budget, account as well as the list of selected project proposals. It therefore guarantees the fulfilment of the objectives set by the Joint Undertaking.
The Governing Board is composed of 10 Board members representing equally the two BBI JU's Founding Partners: 5 from the European Commission and 5 from the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) representing the bio-based Industries in Europe.
