The Steering Committee (SC) serves as a forum for strategic discussions rather than a decision-making body, the SC focuses on information and positions, and on providing recommendations to the Board for consideration.
Membership in the Steering Committee reflects its strategic and operational functions and scope. SC scope includes but is not limited to ensuring adherence to the network’s principles, providing a single point of contact into the clean resource innovation sector for governments, measuring and evaluating CRIN performance, and providing general CRIN coordination as required. SC membership represents the major constituencies of the network (as of July 2021 there are 19 sectors represented at SC), including producers, adjacent and partners industries, innovators, research and academia, government, innovation funding agencies, economic development agencies, industry associations, youth representation, and financial institutions.
Sectors within the CRIN Ecosystem
As we strive towards meeting our mandate to create connections and collaborations between the many nodes of the oil and gas innovation ecosystem, CRIN requires input from the many stakeholders that lead our industry towards energy solutions. By assembling those with an understanding of how the innovation ecosystem works at a foundational level, and how it’s many pieces fit together as whole, CRIN brings us one step closer to enabling more efficient development, commercialization, and widespread adoption of the novel and innovative technologies that the world needs.
Movement towards our vision is made possible by the diverse sectors that make up our network and its leadership. When our sectors and their respective representatives come together, CRIN is able to make the necessary connections between the innovators (researchers, investors, SMEs, government bodies, NGOs, etc.) and resources (funding, talent, labs, facilities, and so on) that accelerate solutions for industry priorities including environmental performance and cost competitiveness.
