Advisory Council

Advisory Council serves as the supreme advisory governing board within the AI4LAM, providing strategic guidance, recommendations, long-term vision, and expert counsel to ensure the organization’s sustainability and alignment with its mission.

It is composed of representatives of 15 Member Organizations, elected from among all Member Organizations of the AI4LAM. Elections into AC take place every three years.

Only cultural heritage organizations—such as libraries, archives, and museums—that actively participate in AI4LAM activities and engage in the field of AI may be represented in the AC upon submitting a written charter for elections.

For additional information consult AI4LAM Statutes or contact our office at: secretary-general@ai4lam.org.
