The Executive Committee is responsible for CIRMMT's policy decisions and resource allocations. In the event of an extended absence of the Director, the Executive Committee nominates an Associate Director to manage the Centre. The International Advisory Council provides counsel on collaborative research, research evaluation, articulation of an international research agenda, and development.
