Organisation of the Leiden Institute of Physics.

Management Team

The LION management team takes all executive decisions and is responsible for the daily management of the institute. The team consists of the Institute board plus a fourth member from the scientific staff. The institute board is comprised of:

• The scientific director: Sense Jan van der Molen
• The director of operations: Monique de Ridder
• The director of education: not yet appointed

Institute Council

The Institute Council is the representative advisory board of the LION employees. It has both an advisory and a consenting role in regard to matters such as safety, yearly budget, possible reorganization plans, the new building and the appointment of a new Scientific Director (WD). Moreover, the Council is an important means of communication between the institute management and the LION employees. The LION council meets at least three times a year, but it can also convene to discuss topics of major importance.
