The objective of the Sponsorship and Resources component of IIOE-2 is to provide:

• The basic resourcing for the operational administrative and day-to-day practical functions of the IIOE-2 (eg of the JPO offices; SC; Working groups; public interaction; communications etc); and
• The more strategic overarching effort required to seek larger scale IIOE-2 wide resources support. This relates to establishing a strategy and the resources to proactively seek financial and other material support for IIOE-2, both through and beyond the resources that have been and will be committed from traditional funding and institutional sources for the day-to-day operations.
