Research Committee
The faculty board is advised by the research committee (onderzoeksraad; ORa), a body that represents the interests of the two overarching research programmes/departments. The research committee evaluates and discusses feasibility of PhD projects, plans for large investments in research infrastructure (costs exceeding k € 25), and all other matters that relate to broad research issues. The research committee meets every month.
The Ora consists of the chairpersons of the four departments, and the director of the FPN Graduate School. The board member Research attends the ORa meetings as an informant. The Ora is professionally supported by the research policy officer FPN, Rense Hoekstra MSc.
