Organisation
DTU Biosustain consists of six organisational pillars and is lead by an EMT composed of the heads of each pillar together with the CEO. The EMT is supported in strategic matters by the DTU Provost and two external advisory bodies.
Provost & The Steering Committee
The Steering Committee consists of the DTU Provost (Chair), the Centre’s CEO as well as two external members. The Committee oversees that the Centre acts in accordance with the grant conditions stated in the Grant Agreement and that our operations are in alignment with DTU’s overall values, mission and goals. The Steering Committee meets three times per year.
The Executive Management Team
The CEO is responsible for the execution of the Centre’s mission and mainly addresses topics at a strategic level. The Executive Management Team (EMT), consisting of the CSO, CTO, CIO, CCO, COO and CPO, undertakes the day-to-day management of their respective organisational pillars, and all members report to the CEO.
Scientific Advisory Board
The Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) consists of seven external advisors appointed by the Steering Committee. The SAB assists the CSO and CTO on a number of topics:
1) reviewing Group Leaders’ performance;
2) conducting a pre-review of DTU Biosustain's overall performance, ahead of external DTU Biosustain reviews;
3) reviewing the established technology platforms and infrastructures;
4) advising on new emerging technologies and opportunities within the footprint of DTU Biosustain;
5) serving as ambassadors for DTU Biosustain. A new SAB will be appointed in 2022.
