Board

The foundation is administered by a governing board. The Administrative Director, employed on a part-time basis, prepares and presents proposals to the board regarding the financial administration. The Research Director, employed on a full-time basis, prepares and presents the overall plans for the distribution of research grants and other activities of the Foundation.

Proposals for projects to be granted are drawn up by a committee of experts, each appointed for a three-year term. The members of the committee represent universities and research institutes, and all are specialists in environmental issues.
