The Institute Council consists of scientists, lecturers, support staff and students. They provide a forum for discussing the institute’s current situation and its prospects.

Although advisory in nature, members of the Institute Council reflect the overall composition of LIACS and are appointed by the staff and students to serve as technical and policy advisors to the Management Team. The Institute Council maintains an open working relationship with the staff and monitors the institute activities and research programme, so to bring strategic advice to the co-directors on the institute and its activities.
