The role of our Horizon Scanning Advisory Group is to provide governance to our horizon scanning and foresight programme.
The group is comprised of Council members and external experts and it meets on average once a quarter. However, this can increase when there is ad-hoc work and opportunities to discuss.
Each group member serves a three-year term.
