The LINKS Advisory Committee (LAC) holds a critical position within the overarching LINKS Community. Its composition comprises invited professionals and experts representing diverse stakeholder organizations that align with the target groups of the LINKS project. The primary functions of the LAC encompass advising, informing, and validating the developments and outcomes arising from the project.
The fundamental aim of the LAC is to convene and actively engage multidisciplinary stakeholders, including representatives from associations within the project consortium, with the overarching objective of attaining validated and practical results. To achieve this objective, the LAC conducts extensive discussions on the project's outcomes, with particular emphasis on in-depth integration into the domain of public safety and security. Notably, the LAC convenes at strategic junctures during the project lifecycle to ensure the generation of well-planned and beneficial outputs.
