PEPPER’s organisation is supported by a governance typical for « associations » (as per the French 1901 Law definition), with Committees warranting efficiency, respect of ethics and transparency.
PEPPER features a small permanent team, liaising with the various governance bodies and committees of the association and ensuring a seamless and transparent workflow. The permanent team is in charge of identifying and screening emerging methods to support the selection operated by the Relevance Committee.
