Governance

Pl@ntNet’s governance is provided by a consortium made up of five research organizations (CIRAD, Inria, INRAE, CNRS and IRD), the Université de Montréal and the Inria Foundation. The management of the consortium is part of the InriaSOFT framework, a program for the long-term sustainability of digital achievements by Inria and its partners. The main governance bodies are the executive committee (in charge of strategic and administrative decisions), the scientific and technical committee (in charge of the technical roadmap) and the office (in charge of the day-to-day coordination of the platform).

Since 2021, Pl@ntNet governance has been open to other members such as research organizations, local authorities, public governance bodies or natural area managers. Membership in the consortium is available under 3 statuses, more information at https://plantnet.org/consortium-plntnet/.
