Board of trustees
The governing body of the Elcano Royal Institute is its
Board of Trustees, whose main duty is to monitor compliance with the aims and
objectives of the Institute. It was established on 27 December 2001 under the
honorary presidency of H.R.H the Prince of Asturias. The Chairman of the Board
of Trustees is Gustavo Suárez Pertierra, former Minister of Defence and Education.
Its Vice-chairman is Antonio de Oyarzábal, Ambassador of Spain. José Manuel Romero
is Secretary of the Board of Trustees.
The Board of Trustees is composed in such a way as to
balance public and private interests on the one hand and the interests of government
and opposition on the other. Former Prime Minister Felipe González is ex officio member, as are the standing Ministers of Foreign
Affairs and Cooperation, Defence, Economy and Finance, and Culture, together
with the chairmen of the Institute's leading corporate founders. The Board of
Trustees has one trustee nominated by the leading opposition party.
The Board also includes, as elected members, academics
and other leading representatives of Spanish cultural and social life. It should
be pointed out that the composition of the Board of Trustees is by no means
definitive and may well expand to include new members, either as a result of
the appearance of new corporate founders, or of the wish to make the Board more
widely representative.
The Board, which meets in ordinary session at least twice
a year, carries the highest responsibilities within the Institute, including
those of representation, governance and administration. Among other duties it
approves the research programme, the budget, the accounts and the annual report.
It also appoints the Executive Committee, the Secretary and the Director. It
appoints new trustees and, at the proposal of the Executive Committee, members
of the Scientific Council.
