Commissions & Communities
Cap Digital is a cluster for digital content and services.
To take into account the cluster’s growth and the expanded number of communities, Cap Digital has restructured its governance.
Our expertise in the sector is now defined by an organization that includes thematic commissions, domain communities, and experts, which are adaptive and alterable. A member of one commission can also be a community member and a Cap Digital expert. The objective of this new structure is to multiply domain community exchanges, leaving room for other developments.
The Thematic Commissions
There are three Commissions: Knowledge, Content, and Services – that coordinate the Domain Communities.
The thematic commissions organize the projects’ reviews and select the cluster experts. The latter may be members of one thematic commission and/or a domain community. The commissions also consolidate the strategy established by the domain communities.
