Board of governors

NRCWE board of governors
The board of governors works out by-laws of NRCWE for approval by the Minister of Employment.

The board also approves the strategy of NRCWE and oversees the general performance of NRCWE.

Each year the board signs a performance contract with the Minister of Employment in which the requirements to research, dissemination of research results, counselling of the minister, contribution to further education, administration of NRCWE etc. are laid out. Furthermore, the board approves the annual report and annual accounts of NRCWE as well as the annual budget and ensures that resources are allocated and used to maximum effect and benefit for the users and stakeholders of NRCWE.

The board initiates that international research evaluations are carried out regularly, just as it recommends follow-up actions to the Minister of Employment.

Finally, the board gives recommendations to the Minister of Employment about appointment and dismissal of the Director General.
