Staff and Management
The board of the SSRI is appointed for three years. In it there are the deans of the three faculties that the institution belongs to. In addition, the board consists of three additional members that are elected by the faculties, two from the Faculty of Sociology, Anthropology and Folkloristics and one from the Faculty of Political Science.
