In January 2023 the steering committee met to identify key areas of work and leading institutions, drawing on the EQUINET 2022 Conference resolutions and the desire for leadership renewal. A new steering committee and associated structures is now under discussion and an updated steering committee list will be on this website in March 2023.  We appreciate the contribution of past and future members!
