Boards and committees
The Saxo Institute has a number of councils and committees, which collectively cover significant aspects of the institute's scope of action. The committees are advisory in relation to the head of department. They can take up questions at their own initiative and deal with cases that the head of department submits to the committees.
The committees consist of various combinations of scientific staff, administrative staff, PhD students and students, depending on the committee's portfolio.
