Governance
The Center for Social Impact and Sustainability at North South University aims to promote interdisciplinary research, education, policy development, and community engagement in the fields of sustainability, environmental protection, and climate resilience. To support this mission, an Advisory Board is established to provide high-level strategic guidance, expert knowledge, and networking support. The Advisory Board serves as an external consultative body that advises the Center’s leadership on strategy, program development, research priorities, outreach, and global engagement. The Board plays a key role in enhancing the visibility, credibility, and impact of the Center.
