Association board 2024 – 2025

The board of the IPR University Center Association operates in three-year cycles, during which members participate in board activities as either regular members or deputies for two years, and take a break from board activities in the third year. This ensures that all supporting association members have the opportunity to serve on the board and influence its operations.
