The board consists of four distinguished external experts, elected for four-year terms. These experts provide objective assessments of the faculty’s research performance, offering strategic guidance on direction, structure, and growth. Every two years, SAB members conduct site visits, engaging closely with faculty members to evaluate and enhance all aspects of research strategy, from fostering collaboration to promoting innovation. Their insights help to cultivate an empowering research environment that drives both individual and collective excellence.
