The Institute has a Board with 10 members, elected through General Assemblies for a mandate of three years. The Board takes care of the general administrative and executive decisions.

There is a weekly General Assembly, which gathers Board, Project Coordinators and interested members. This assembly is the place where visions are developed and strategic decisions are made, always based on ample discussion. |
