General Executive Council
The KB is an independent administrative body (zelfstandig besturingsorgaan, ZBO). A ZBO is an organisation that fulfils government tasks but is not part of a ministry.
The daily running of the KB rests with the general director, who is accountable to the General Executive Council (Algemeen bestuurscollege, ABC). The ABC's tasks and authority are recorded in the Higher education and research act (Wet op het hoger onderwijs en wetenschappelijk onderzoek, WHW) and the KB's board regulations. Among other things, the ABC concerns itself with the budget, annual report, organisational policy, subsidy programmes and developments in the various networks in which the KB is active.
The General Executive Council of the KB consists of a maximum of 5 members appointed by the Minister of Education, Culture and Science. The council of the KB consists of:
- mr. T.H.J. (Tjibbe) Joustra (chair)
- prof. dr. B.A. (Beatrice) de Graaf
- drs. A.S. (Annette) Roeters
- dr. K. (Karin) Amatmoekrim
- prof. dr. M.J. (Jeroen) van den Hoven
Board secretary: dr. mr. A.N.P. (Anouk) Janssen
