The principles underlying the structure and representativeness of the IIOE Steering Committee (SC) were first specified in the STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK for the implementation of IIOE-2.
Sponsors
The sponsors of IIOE-2 are IOGOOS, SCOR and UNESCO-IOC. Collectively these autonomous international bodies, each involved in the science in the Indian Ocean, takes responsibility for facilitating funding of the infrastructure of IIOE-2 including resourcing of the Project Office (PO) with node in India.
Working Procedure of the three Co-Chairs representing the three sponsors Download
Governance framework
A duly constituted Steering Committee (SC) shall provide overall strategic guidance, establish high-level policies, and oversee the successful implementation and delivery of the project during the 2015-2030 period. The Steering Committee will be responsible for monitoring progress, facilitating coordination among stakeholders, and ensuring that project objectives are achieved in accordance with the approved framework.
For details, refer to the Revised Implementation Strategy for the Second International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE-2) 2015-2030 as outlined in the Implementation Strategy document.
IIOE-2 Project Office (PO)
The PO defines the nodal point network for IIOE-2 delivery and has day-to-day responsibility for the coordination & implementation of IIOE-2. The node of the PO have been established: in India (INCOIS, Hyderabad). The PO facilitates all aspects of IIOE-2, particularly the science and associated infrastructure as well as capacity building, operational coordination, outreach/communication, data/information management, etc.
Steering Committee
The Steering Committee (SC) consists of a Core Group and a Stakeholder Group as structured below:

Core Group
The Core Group comprises, besides the three Co-Chairs, an Executive level with one representative (leader) per each of the six Science Themes and each of the seven operational divisions (Working Groups) derived from the IIOE-2 Science Plan. In addition, the Executive is composed of representatives of key Indian Ocean-related IOC Regional Bodies and Committees and Head of the IIOE-2 Project Office.
