Strategic Stakeholders Forum
What is the Strategic Stakeholders Forum?
The DSSC Strategic Stakeholder Forum (SSF), also referred to as the Strategic Stakeholder Group, is a think-and-do-tank that supports the DSSC in delivering on policy objectives. Together with the rest of the DSSC consortium partners, the SSF makes recommendations on the governance of the Support Centre’s assets, its evolution, and its sustainability. The SSF has both an active and advisory/strategic role at the DSSC.
