Staff and Management
The SSRI's executive board is formed and sits for three years at a time. The executive board consists of the heads of the three faculties which the SSRI pertains to as well as three representatives who are elected by the faculties: two from the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences and one from the Faculty of Political Science.
If no professor from a faculty's course of study is representative of the SSRI's board, the course of study has the right to have an observer on board meetings with free speech and the right to propose a motion. SSRI's Director attends the board meetings along with one staff representative. The Director is entitled to make proposals but is without the right to vote.
- Jónína Einarsdóttir, Head of Faculty of Sociology, Anthropology, and Folkloristics
