The Foundation's articles of association provide that the work of the Board of Directors is prepared by four specialised boards, each of which opens the Foundation onto a particular sector of society.

All of these bodies meet at least once a year. Their members take part in the Foundation's Workshops, an annual forum bringing all stakeholders together.

The Advisory Board

Bringing together leading figures from civil society known for their institutional, professional, artistic, cultural or community-organizing contributions to the Foundation's purpose, the Advisory Board advises the Foundation on its strategic orientations and operations. The President of the Academic Board and four members also serve on it.
