The Weidenfeld Scholarships Advisory Board
Co-chaired by Sir Ronald Grierson and Michael Lewis, the Advisory Board includes leading figures from international academia, business and politics. The Advisory Board that oversees the design and implementation of the Programme has been established as a sub-group of the Institute's Board of Trustees. All Advisory Board members are acting in a personal capacity and not as organisational representatives.
The Advisory Board oversees the workings of the Programme and is responsible for guiding its strategic development. Its members also assist in promoting the Programme in its target regions and, in the future, will engage actively with the Scholars through the mentoring scheme.
