BI has established several advisory boards and councils, all of which have an advisory function in various areas that are important to BI.
The goal of these functions is to ensure that BI receives good input and advice from important external target groups and stakeholders. Our advisory boards have a function that focuses more on strategy and integrity, while our advisory councils focus on input on programmess and subject areas. All our advisory bodies have external experts with relevant experience from business, public administration, academia and former students.
The International Advisory Board is an advising body for the President, The Board of Trustees and the top management of BI. The main purpose of IAB is to strengthen BI internationally by having an independent body looking at BI from an external point of view. Furthermore, this independent body is playing an important role in the institution’s internationalisation strategy.
