Standing committees

Where decisions are actually made

The board delegates to four standing committees, each with a published remit and a scholar from outside the institute among its members.

Research Ethics Committee

Reviews every study involving human participants before fieldwork begins, and can halt work already under way.

Editorial Board

Sets standards across all six journals, appoints reviewers, and rules on appeals against desk rejection. Operates independently of the governing board.

Programmes Committee

Designs the training curriculum, approves admissions criteria, and reviews teaching quality at the end of every cohort.

Partnerships Committee

Assesses proposed memoranda of understanding and reviews existing partnerships every two years against what they have actually produced.
