Organisation chart

The ITB is led by an Executive Board comprising three university lecturers. The Institute’s spokesperson is elected from among them. Both Executive Board members and the spokesperson are elected for a term of three years.

An executive director coordinates the day-to-day administrative and organisational work of the ITB.

Fundamental decisions are taken by the Institute Council. It is responsible, in particular, for the budget, decisions on research programmes, research perspectives and the research profile, and for the development and updating of a programme to support early-career researchers.

The Institute’s research activities are supported and evaluated by an independent scientific advisory board. Once a year, the advisory board carries out an evaluation of the Institute on the basis of the research report.
