GLOBAL FORUM 2009 STEERING COMMITTEE


General Information about Global Forum Steering Committee

General Information about Global Forum Steering Committee
Global Forum prestige is a consequence of the event management, conducted with great success by the President Sylviane Toporkoff and Vice-President Sebastien Levy.
Over the 17 editions that have been held so far, Global Forum has been sustained by partners from all over the world, some of them becoming permanent collaborators and later members of the Steering Committee.

Global Forum Steering Committee is in charge of the scientific organisational part of the event.
Each subcommittee meets periodically for analysis and proposals related to the upcoming annual editions. Analyses on the global situation are conducted and proposals are consequently made for the future themes, topics and other aspects.

For the 2009 Edition of Global Forum, the results of the analyses and proposals made by the regional subcommittees have been centralized and presented at the Global Forum Steering Committee which took place on the 18th of May 2009.
