Who leads ICA?
ICA is governed by the ICA General Assembly which comprises one representative from each member institution. The ICA General Assembly elects the ICA Board, who are senior members in the life science community. The modus operandi of ICA is determined by the ICA Statutes.
These Board members play a key role in developing the policies of their own universities and faculties. With this overview they are able to focus the activities and planned outcomes of ICA to support the staff of the ICA member institutions in their professional careers. The Board reports to the annual meeting of the ICA General Assembly.
