Board of Directors

The NFA's Board of Directors is made up of 13 members who are responsible for the overall management of the NFA in accordance with the 'Statutes of the National Research Centre for the Working Environment'.

The Board of Directors consists of:

  • a chairperson directly appointed by the Minister for Employment,
  • six members with knowledge of the working environment area, nominated by the Working Environment Council (AMR). The members represent social partners,
  • four members with relevant research expertise from the University of Copenhagen, Aarhus University, the Technical University of Denmark and a foreign research institution nominated by Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF),
  • two employee representatives.

The Department of the Ministry of Employment and the Danish Working Environment Authority also participate in the board meetings.

The Board of Directors prepares 4-year strategies. In addition, the Board regularly monitors the NFA's work. This is done on the basis of fundamental and strategic discussions, e.g. on the prioritisation of the NFA's research, communication and collaboration with the NFA's primary stakeholders.
