The governance
MICS Governance: Collaborative, Transparent, Impact-Oriented
The governance structure of MICS reflects our vision: open, collaborative, and impact-driven.
We bring together public and private actors, representatives from the scientific, industrial, and institutional worlds, with one shared goal: to guide the transition toward a Circular and Sustainable Made in Italy with awareness and accountability.
Every decision stems from a structured dialogue between diverse perspectives and competencies, to ensure strategic solidity, operational transparency, and alignment with sustainability principles.
HUB
The Hub is a non-profit legal entity composed of both public and private institutions (established as a Foundation).
Each partner participates in the governance of the Hub, contributes to its strategic direction, coordinates research, development, and technology transfer activities within the Spokes, and can directly access public funding.
