Joint Executive Group

The Joint Executive Group (JEG) is the body directly responsible for successfully implementing Imperial College AHSC’s strategy and managing the delivery of its work programme. The Group is chaired by Professor Mark Thursz, Director of Imperial College AHSC.

Imperial College AHSC governance arrangements are formalised through a Joint Working Agreement.  This sets out the parameters, mechanisms and structures for how the partners work together, including the ownership and exploitation of intellectual property.

JEG members are senior leaders of the partner organisations
