CIIIC Advisory Board

The CIIIC Advisory Board – Ambassadors for IX in the Netherlands

After a thorough selection process, the Advisory Board of the National Growth Fund program CIIIC now includes 18 members. As representatives of the IX community and ambassadors for IX in the Netherlands, they play a vital role in ensuring the program stays closely connected to the industry.

The Advisory Board provides both solicited and unsolicited advice on key strategic and content-related issues to the CIIIC program team. Their goal is to ensure that the program’s content, activities, and outcomes meet the needs of the sector. The Advisory Board comprises creators (such as designers, developers, and producers), researchers, education specialists, and commissioners.
