Governance

The ICEF governance structure reflects its international nature and is enshrined in the Regulations on the College, approved by the Academic Council of the National Research University Higher School of Economics. In accordance with Russian legislation, since ICEF is a part of the Russian state university its general management is carried out by the Academic Council and the Rector. 

In connection with the need to ensure sustainable activities and development of ICEF, which implements international academic programmes, the governing bodies of the College, which included representatives of the business environment (ICEF HSE Board of Trustees) and representatives of foreign universities (the International Academic Committee, the International Academic Advisory Board), were also created.

The academic management of the College is carried out by the International Academic Committee (IAC) with the participation of representatives of the international academic community.

There is also the International Academic Advisory Board (IAAB) which provides recommendations on the entire range of issues related to academic activities and development of ICEF.

The ICEF Director is responsible for the day-to-day management of the College, including academic, financial and administrative activities.
