The HOST Committee is defined as the group of Space Domain Theme Leads. Theme Leads are also the ESA_Lab@UCL Theme Leads, and there is no distinction between these roles.
HOST Committee members are academic leaders in their respective “Theme”. A Theme is loosely defined as being a field, area or topic within which independent research can be performed. Theme leads identify and organise space-related research and education activities within their Theme for UCL researchers, and partners, and manage the Theme relationship between UCL, ESA and the wider ESA_Lab network.
