Corporate Governance

As a charity and company limited by guarantee, the Institute is governed by a Board of Trustees. Babraham Bioscience Technologies Ltd. (BBT). BBT, the charity's wholly-owned trading subsidiary, has a separate Board consisting of a mixture of non-executive and executive Directors. Together Babraham Institute and BBT are known as 'Babraham Group'. The Boards have two joint sub-committees - the Audit Committee and the Estates Committee. The latter is constituted to ensure that developments on the Babraham Research Campus are overseen by one body.

Scientific Governance and Assessment

The Institute is subject to BBSRC's quinquennial Institute Assessment Exercise during which a series of panels of internationally recognised experts and representatives of different 'user groups' for our science undertakes a detailed evaluation of the Institute's performance. Taken with assessments of the Institute's overall business strategy, Graduate and Postdoctoral Programmes, Knowledge Exchange and Commercialisation performance and Public Engagement programme, the Assessment report informs the overall level of future Institute Strategic Programme (ISP) Grant funding the Institute receives from the BBSRC.
