Board of Directors

IHES is managed by a Board of Directors, comprising a maximum of 18 members. Its membership consists of representatives of the State (the French Ministry of Research and CNRS), founder representatives, and individual members.

The Board of Directors meets twice a year:

– Autumn session: budget monitoring, approval of the following year’s budget, presentation of the various events which have taken place over the year.
