PIRSE operates through a comprehensive governance and membership structure as a Swiss non-profit association. Our membership encompasses individual members, collective members, and honorary members who support our mission and participate in our General Assembly, ensuring that our work reflects the needs and perspectives of the broader health-environment community.
PIRSE operates through a dual governance structure comprising a Steering Committee that provides operational leadership and strategic oversight, and an International Advisory Committee of multidisciplinary experts that guides research priorities and validates our scientific approach.
Our International Advisory Committee brings together specialists from environmental toxicology, public health, social sciences, and policy studies. This expert network ensures that our work maintains scientific standards while addressing the interconnected nature of environmental health challenges.
The Steering Committee, detailed below, combines academic and operational experience across research, policy, law, and practice. Each member contributes specialized knowledge that enables PIRSE to address health-environment challenges through multiple perspectives, from laboratory research to policy implementation.
This governance model reflects our commitment to interdisciplinary approaches, creating the synergies necessary to develop evidence-based solutions for health-environment issues.
