VIVA Committee Expectations

The work of Chairs and Committee Members should not be seen as work done as time allows but rather as a formal assignment that is essential to the functioning of the consortium. It is hoped that the work of Chairs and Committee Members can be adjusted by their institutions, if needed, to emphasize the importance of their work for the consortium.

Further, although members are selected to represent their type of institution, Committee Members are encouraged to think more broadly and to work on behalf of the collective good of the VIVA membership as a whole.
