Governing Board

The Governing Board is the main decision-making body of the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI). It carries the overall responsibility for the operations of the undertaking and oversees the implementation of its activities. It therefore guarantees the fulfilment of the objectives set by the organisation.

The Governing Board is composed of 10 Board members representing equally our two Founding Members: 5 from the European Commission, representing the European Community, and 5 from the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), representing the research-based pharmaceutical industry in Europe. In addition, our Associated Partners may take part in Governing Board discussions that concern their association, although they do not have voting rights.

The way the Governing Board works is set out in the Governing Board Rules of Procedure. Lists of the decisions taken by the Governing Board under the IMI2 programme are published on this page.

The roles of chair and deputy chair are held alternately by representatives of the European Commission and representatives of EFPIA.
