The Foundation’s «governance» is built on four statutory bodies:
- the Executive Board;
- the Executive Committee of the Board ("Bureau");
- the Science Council (SC);
- the Group of Research Unit Directors.
Agropolis Fondation is governed by an Executive Board, which decides on the Foundation’s development policy, its long-term objectives and its partnerships. It is made up of 17 members representing its charter members, its research units, the Occitanie Region, its private partners, and qualified persons. They bring a broad spectrum of knowledge to the Foundation and have extensive experience in the fields of research, higher education and international cooperation.
An Executive Committeee of six members - five members of the Board plus the Foundation’s Director - manages the current issues of the Foundation.
