Internal Council
________________________________________________________________________________________
The Internal Council is a consultation entity of the director. It includes the following voting members: director, academic secretary, three office heads and elected academic representatives. Elected academic members are: one full time professor for each head office, elected by the researchers from the same head office, and one full time technician elected by all technicians of the Institute. Elections of these representatives take place as defined in Chapter VIII of the Internal Code of the Institute of Engineering.
This Internal Code is available in the intranet of the Institute of Engineering.
The Internal Council is chaired by the director and the academic secretary acts as the council secretary. The Internal Council may invite people to its sessions with the right to voice but not the right to vote. The representative of the academic staff to the Technical Council of Scientific Research will be a permanent guest.

The Internal Council will meet by convocation of the director or the Technical Board of Scientific Research, or when three or more of its members so require. Given the number of issues to be addressed, the council meets around twice a month.
