The Chair will try to achieve its goal through 6 strategic pillars: Research, Education and Training, Outreach and Dissemination, Stakeholder Engagement; Policy and Impact; and Esports. The responsibility of coordinating each strategic pillar has been assigned to members of the Advisory Committee, which is the Chair’s authority on strategic direction, validation, and arbitration. See [here](https://www.hbku.edu.qa/sites/default/files/terms_of_reference_governance_advisory_committee.pdf) the Terms of Reference for the Advisory Committee.
