Advisory Board aivancity

Committed, high-level governance

As the school's strategic think tank, the aivancity Board issues opinions and makes recommendations that are advisory in nature.

Exchanges and cross-fertilization between the school's vision and development prospects, and the scientific, professional and societal expertise of Board members, provide food for thought for senior management and underpin their decision-making.

Its role is to provide guidance on the structuring themes of :

scientific choices, program offerings, strategy, human resources to implement strategy, international development, investment choices or risk management; to support aivancity in implementing its raison d'être, respecting its commitments as a mission-driven company and, more generally, strengthening its societal impact.

It also examines the school's overall financial situation and makes recommendations to ensure its long-term viability.

Alongside the Board, which is made up of three colleges, sit the president of the Student Union and a graduate of the school.
