The consortium management structure has been established to ensure efficient and effective management of all the operational, technical and financial aspects of the Spirou Project.
The governance structure consists of a Project Office and a Steering Committee.
Project office
The project office is composed by
- the Principal Investigator, Jean – Francois Donati, IRAP, Toulouse, France

Steering Committee
The SPIRou Steering Committee (SSC) provides management and technical advices to CNRS about SPIRou, through the time of its delivery to CFHT.
CNRS appoints the SSC Chair for a 2 year term. The SSC includes six members that, like the Chair, are appointed for 2 year periods, which can be renewed indefinitely.
SSC members can be drawn from the community and/or represent stakeholders in the SPIRou project.
The role of SSC Chair rotates through other members of the SSC upon the end of the Chair’s term.
The Steering Committee is composed by :
- Pierre Kern (chair), INSU, France
- Jérôme Bouvier, IPAG, France
- Mike Toplis, OMP, France
- Doug Simons, CFHT, Hawaii
- Greg Fahlman, NRC-H, Canada
- Geneviève Tanguay, UdeM, Canada
- Bruno Castillo, LNA, Brésil
- Jorge Gameiro, CAUP, Portugal
- Stéphane Udry, OG, Switzerland
- Y-H. Chu, ASIAA, Taiwan
