Organization of AMEG

AMEG is a global Advisory Group open to all interested scientists or students. AMEG is led and organized by a chair and a co-chair from different SETAC Geographic Units. Currently the chair, Gertie Arts, and co-chair, Mark Hanson, are from Europe and North America, respectively. They are supported by a Steering Committee (SC) comprised of chairs of working groups and other SC members with specific tasks (12 SC members in total). Members of the Steering Committee are evenly distributed over the three stakeholder groups. The SC will initiate specific activities to include representatives of Africa, Asia/Pacific and Latin America into the Advisory Group and the Steering Committee.
