Advisory council

Each of the Institutes in the Faculty of Humanities has an Advisory Council (Adviesraad or Raad van Advies). The Council consists of minimally seven and maximally thirteen Institute members. The Institute Director ensures that the Council has access to information on all matters concerning the Institute.

The Council meets with the Academic Director and the Institute Manager four to six times per academic year, to offer solicited and unsolicited advice on the Institute’s development. In addition to direct contact with the Director and the Manager, institute members can take their ideas and concerns to the Advisory Council.

Members are appointed for (renewable) periods of two years each by the Dean of Humanities, upon recommendation by the Institute Director, with due regard for balanced representation of gender, rank, area and period specialization and disciplinary expertise. Members include one of the members of the PhD Council and the Heads of the School of Asian Studies and the School of Middle-Eastern Studies.

The LIAS Advisory Council has the following members, with dr. Gabrielle van den Berg and dr. Margaretha Folmer as chairpersons:
