In order to achieve the objectives of the UroCCR project, governance is based on consultation and the medico-scientific consensus. Each partner center participates in controlling the extraction and use of the data and biological resources that it has collected from patients in the center, incorporating the "quality" standards characterizing their participation in the network. Any collaborative scientific project undertaken using data from the UroCCR database and, where appropriate, biological resources, will be the subject of a methodological protocol accompanied by submission form addressed to the Scientific Committee for evaluation, as well as to the centers concerned by the study for the feasibility of the project. The studies having had a favorable opinion, will be the object of a particular contract to specify the modalities of collaboration and financing. In addition to scientific quality, each contract will pay particular attention to data and sample security, ethics and regulatory compliance. Each study will lead to the production of an annual report to monitor the scientific production of the network.

Meeting: The Scientific Committee will meet at least once a year.

n order to allow the development of the scientific objectives of the UroCCR Program, five thematic commissions are constituted:

• A "Urology" commission
• An "Oncology" Commission,
• A "Radiology" commission,
• "Anatomopathology" commission,
• A commission "Biological Resource Centers (CRB)".

Each commission is made up of specialty representatives from each team. For each commission, a representative is appointed by the majority of the representatives of the specialty, brought to sit as a member of the Scientific Committee. For each commission, a representative is appointed by the majority of the representatives of the specialty, to sit as a member of the Steering Committee.

In order to allow the representation of each center, the Parties have agreed to set up a Scientific Assembly to promote the information of all the Centers on the activities of the Network. The Scientific Assembly composed of all the scientific representatives will be organized each year at the initiative of the Operational Committee.
