Working Groups

CIMM’s Working Groups develop ideas for research, solicit proposals, and surface issues for consideration by the Steering Committee.

CIMM’s Working Groups are knowledge communities that play a key role in identifying research priorities and developing projects.

The Groups have been developed based on discussions with members about industry priorities and innovation opportunities that they’re keen to explore and address over the coming year.

Groups meet monthly or quarterly, with guest speakers, research presentations and roundtable discussions.
