Steering Committee & Academic Board
The International Steering Committee convenes at least once per year to discuss questions of all scientific and organisational matters of the center. Its main role is to:
- Determine the distribution of research resources and conferences.
- Select Ela Bhatt professorship holders.
The Academic Board decides on the applications for membership of the ICDD Graduate School (PhD / Postdoc fellows) as well as on all academic issues related to the Graduate School. Its membership is identical to the International Steering Committee.
