The CNR-ITD Advisory Board performs a consultative role, expressing its position on the Institute’s management plan, the outputs of its research activities, as well as any proposals to be made to the CNR Research Department that CNR-ITD is affiliated to.

The Board offers the CNR-ITD Director its advice on planning activities, on efforts to raise research quality, and on staff skill development. When a new CNR-ITD director is due to be appointed, the Board communicates to the President of CNR its view on the strategic development plans that candidates present as part of their application.

The Board comprises five representatives elected by CNR-ITD’s research and technology staff, plus one representative elected by the Institute’s technical and administrative staff. Board members remain in office for four years. The current Advisory Board has been in office since 15/10/2020.
