Sub-committees

The NACI Act provides for the NACI Council to establish sub-committees to execute designated functions. They operate on the principle that the Council should approve the initiation of a study and the acceptance of the final report on such a study. The composition of sub-committes can change over time.

Sub-committees were established in the latter half of 2004 to oversee all activities with regard to the Strategic Thrusts:

• Infrastructure for innovation promotion
• Human capital and the knowledge base
• Science, technology and innovation for competitiveness
• Social dimension of innovation
• Position and role of NACI in the national system of innovation National advisory committees
