The Board

The Board is the top management of the Royal Danish Academy - Architecture, Design,Conservation and is responsible for promoting the institution's work and defending the interests of the institution as an institution for artistic education and research.

The Board is accountable to the Minister for Education for the institution's overall business and the rules laid down for the institution. On the basis of recommendations from the Rector, the Board determines guidelines for the institution's organisation, long-term business and development. The Board appoint and dismiss the Rector.

The composition of the Board should reflect the institution's overall tasks. The whole Board must, therefore, have access to education, research, artistic research practice, dissemination of knowledge, management, organisation, finances and the areas of employment and business, for which the institution educates its students.

The Rector and Vice-Rector participate in board meetings without voting rights.
