IMBeR Fellows

Recognising that strategic decision-making can be improved by having additional experts to draw upon,  IMBeR has appointed a group of ‘Fellows’ who may be called upon as an additional advisory board or ‘wise council’, thereby increasing IMBeR’s broad and interdisciplinary approach. 

Terms of Reference Updated on the IMBeR Executive Committee Meeting October 2024
