National Member Organizations<\/h3>\n

Each IIASA member country designates a National Member Organization (NMO) to represent the nation\u2019s scholarly community, and act as a bridge between their research and policy communities and the institute. There are three types of NMOs namely, national\u00a0 academies, national\/government research funding agencies, and autonomous organizations or committees. Each member country fulfills two main roles, which it enacts through its NMO. The first of these involves the governance of the institute through its\u00a0 representative Council member for IIASA, while the second requires the NMO to act as a link between IIASA and national stakeholders and research communities.<\/p>\n

The IIASA Council<\/h3>\n

As the governing body of the institute, the IIASA Council<\/a> is composed of one permanent representative from each NMO. The Council meets twice a year, in June and November. The Charter, the Council delegation of authority, and Council resolutions, document the role of Council, as well as its processes and decisions.<\/p>\n

The Council is responsible for governance oversight, approval of the institute budget, approving strategies and governing principles, areas for IIASA research, as well as ensuring that IIASA activities are in line with institutional objectives, the provisions of the Charter, and the interests of NMOs.<\/p>\n

The Council elects a chair<\/a> and two vice chairs who act as officers of the Council. Michael Clegg (United States) has been the Council chair since September 2017. Lea Kauppi (Finland) has been the Council vice chair since January 2019 and Gansen Pillay (South Africa) has been the Council vice chair since January 2018.<\/p>\n

The Council appoints the director general, the deputy director general for science, and the chief operations officer who, as the chief executive officers of the institute, are responsible for implementing the research program and managing the day-to-day operations. Council appointed Christiane Pohn-Hufnagl as the chief operations officer who joined the IIASA executive team on 1 July 2020.<\/p>\n

During 2020, the IIASA Council exercised its oversight responsibilities through a committee structure<\/a> comprising of an Executive Committee; a Finance, Risk, and Audit Committee; a Membership Committee; and a Research and Engagement Committee. In addition, an external Science Advisory Committee (SAC) and external auditors provided specialized input to Council.<\/p>\n

IIASA would like to thank the following Council members who left the Council in 2020 for the invaluable service and advice: Professor Mauro Rabelo, Professor Sir Duncan Wingham, Dr. Enrique de Alba, and Academician Professor Anatoly Zagorodny.<\/p>\n
