Board
The Board is Bruegel's central governance body and decides on strategy and on Bruegel's research agenda. It also appoints the director and deputy director and oversees Bruegel's financial management and budget. However, the Board does not bear responsibility for research results‚ which remains with individual researchers under the editorial oversight of the Director.
The board is elected for a three-year term by Bruegel's members and consists of 11 individuals with backgrounds in government, business, academia and civil society. The current Board membership consists of: Jean-Claude Trichet (Chairman), José Manuel Campa, Anna Ekström, Jan Fischer, Vittorio Grilli, Wolfgang Kopf, Rainer Münz, Jim O'Neill, Lars-Hendrik Röller, Dariusz Rosati, and Helen Wallace.

Famous quotes containing the word board:
“During depression the world disappears. Language itself. One has nothing to say. Nothing. No small talk, no anecdotes. Nothing can be risked on the board of talk. Because the inner voice is so urgent in its own discourse: How shall I live? How shall I manage the future? Why should I go on?”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
“Don’t tell me what delusion he entertains regarding God, or what mountebank he follows in politics, or what he springs from, or what he submits to from his wife. Simply tell me how he makes his living. It is the safest and surest of all known tests. A man who gets his board and lodging on this ball in an ignominious way is inevitably an ignominious man.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“On board ship there are many sources of joy of which the land knows nothing. You may flirt and dance at sixty; and if you are awkward in the turn of a valse, you may put it down to the motion of the ship. You need wear no gloves, and may drink your soda-and-brandy without being ashamed of it.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
