Governance and team
The Institute for Environmental Transformations is directed by Charlotte Halpern.
It relies on three governance bodies.
The Institute is also a member of the TIERED project management structures, and presents its work to the Partners' Committee.
The internal steering committee
The Internal Steering Committee is made up of members of the Sciences Po Executive Committee and supports the deployment of a transformative agenda for the university. This committee meets twice a year. It defines the Institute’s strategic orientations and validates the Institute's annual report. The latter is supported by Sciences Po's Scientific Advisory Board and committees of research unit directors, department heads and deans.
The Scientific advisory board
The Scientific Advisory Board is made up of
- 5 members of Sciences Po’s permanent faculty, the CNRS,
- 3 TIERED project partners
- 3 international experts.
It defines the Institute's scientific orientations, in compliance with the TIERED project's Consortium Agreement (signing procedures, etc.) and Sciences Po Charter of Ethics. Its members are appointed for a 3-year term (renewable once). The Scientific Advisory Board meets 3 to 4 times a year, and minutes are kept of its decisions. Once a year, it calls on international experts. It is chaired by the Institute's Director. The first meeting took place in September 2024.
The Board's members missions are the following :
- Discuss the Institute's strategic orientations;
- Contribute to the implementation of the Institute's activities;
- Participate in key events in the life of the Institute;
- Promote the Institute within their networks, in France and/or internationally.

Its mission is to support the implementation of the Institute's missions, provide advisory opinions on the Institute's actions and projects and formulate guidelines on its development needs, notably in connection with the job market.
