LIAS Foundation is managed by a Management Board consisting of the Rector, the General Administrator, the Group Chairman of KU Leuven, the Chair and a member of the steering group of Metaforum, and the initiators of the Fund, together with a number of co-opted external members for a five-year mandate. The Management Board is co-chaired by the Rector, currently Luc Sels, and the initiator of the Fund, Joost Van Meerbeeck.
The intention is to gather scientific insights about major societal challenges in LIAS on the basis of international and interdisciplinary consultation.
