Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees was established on 27 December 2001 under the honorary presidency of H.R.H the Prince of Asturias. The Chairman is Gustavo Suárez Pertierra, former Minister of Defence and Education. Its Deputy Chairman is Antonio de Oyarzábal, Ambassador of Spain. José Manuel Romero is the Secretary, and Antonio Sanchez Montero is the Deputy Secretary.
The Board of Trustees is composed in such a way as to balance public and private interests on the one hand and the interests of government and opposition on the other. Former Prime Minister Felipe González is ex officio member, as are the standing Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Defence, Economy and Finance, and Culture, together with the chairmen of the Institute's leading corporate founders. The Board of Trustees has one trustee nominated by the leading opposition party.
Academics and other leading representatives of Spanish cultural and social life also participate as elected members of the Board. It should be pointed out that the composition of the Board of Trustees is by no means definitive and may well expand to include new members, either as a result of the appearance of new corporate founders, or of the wish to make the Board more widely representative.
The Board -which meets in ordinary session at least twice a year- carries the highest responsibilities within the Institute, including those of representation, governance and administration. Among other duties it approves the research programme, the budget, the accounts and the annual report. It also appoints the Executive Committee, the Secretary and the Director. It appoints new trustees and, at the proposal of the Executive Committee, members of the Scientific Council.
