The ISGC is led by a Steering Committee that is responsible for the overall strategic direction of the consortium. This strategic direction is discussed and agreed upon during general assemblies held at each of the bi-annual workshops held by the ISGC. The regular research work of the ISGC is conducted via working groups organized by topics. Each working group has a Chair and a co-Chair and holds regular working calls throughout the year. All leadership roles are temporary, elected by voting and any ISGC member can postulate to any leadership role.
