CEMAS GOVERNING BODIES

CEMAS’ goal is to transform the city into a permanent national and international leading light in the field of healthy and sustainable urban food. To do this, it is activating projects and actions from within its structure and in cooperation with the institutions and agencies it considers appropriate.

The presidency is entrusted to the Mayor of Valencia. The Governing Board oversees the proper development of the actions, ensures the correct management of the entity and enables, through contacts or collaborations, the adequate execution of each project or action. Meanwhile, the Advisory Board issues reports and promotes partnerships and knowledge exchange initiatives, among other responsibilities.

The keynote of the Centre’s management is its capacity to design, raise funding and oversee the successful achievement of its purpose.

There are two different lines of funding:

• Regular public funding for the maintenance of the entity’s structure: staff, equipment and maintenance.
• Agreements, partnerships and collaborations for projects, events, exhibitions, informative material, grants and actions, in coordination with other United Nations agencies, cities and public and private entities.
