About Us HCIAS Organization
In the three main fields of academic activity—research, teaching, and knowledge transfer—the HCIAS is strategically steered by a board of directors and advised by a scientific advisory council as well as an advisory council or board of trustees. In addition, the committees of the Master’s program contribute to the governance and continuous development of the Center’s academic profile and curriculum. Through the diverse subject and institutional backgrounds of their members, all of these bodies reflect the interdisciplinary collaboration that is intrinsic to the HCIAS.
