Oversight
Since its inception, the Santa Fe Institute has devoted itself to the creation of a new kind of scientific research community pursuing emerging syntheses in science. Three advisory bodies - the Board of Trustees, the Science Board and the Science Steering Committee (SSC) - provide advice, oversight, and support. All three of the oversight groups have automatic rotation policies.
The Board of Trustees oversees the financial and legal status of SFI and its governance. view board members...

The SSC consists of a subset of the Resident Faculty, External Faculty and Science Board members. view committee members...
The Science Board is responsible for advising on, and evaluating, SFI's general scientific agenda. The Board is composed of distinguished scientists who have demonstrated an interest in, and understanding of, SFI programs.

Members are appointed by the President on the recommendation of the Science Board and normally serve for renewable three-year terms. view board members...
