Advisory Council

The Advisory Council was established in 1994 as a successor to the Governing Body of Queen Elizabeth House once QEH ceased to be an independent chartered body and became a department of the University.

The Advisory Council supports the Department in outreach and fundraising activities and gives guidance on research directions. The Council has representation from the University, international agencies, NGOs and government and reflects a broad spectrum of authoritative opinion and practical experience.
