BIMS is governed by a director and a scientific advisory board. Their roles are described below.

Director

The Director is entrusted to lead the research institute in its general functions and to make sure that the operations of the Institute are smoothly and effectively run day by day. The major responsibilities expected of the Director include:

Strategic Leadership: The Director establishes a vision for the institute in addition to setting the long-term research priorities thereof, keeping in view the latest development in mathematics, together with emerging trends across the global mathematical community.

Resource Management: Budget oversight, procurement of funds, and ensuring that the researchers are adequately resourced financially, technically, and humanly to conduct their work.

Research Environment: Promote a supportive, collaborative environment for intellectual stimulation. The Director should actively encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, seminars, and workshops to ensure that interaction is achieved among young and senior researchers.

Recruitment and mentorship: Provide leadership in faculty and postdoctoral researcher recruitment and visitation. Highly engaged as a mentor for young researchers in their academic and professional development.

External Relations: The Director represents the Institute in academic, industry, and public forums; develops partnerships, and enhances the center network of collaborators. He/She is also be responsible for public outreach and raising visibility about the center in the wider community.

Scientific Advisory Board

The Scientific Advisory Board provides high-level guidance and strategic oversight to ensure the institute's research direction remains at the cutting edge of mathematics. Board members, who are senior figures in the field, help steer the institute's long-term vision and contribute their expertise on key matters. Their main responsibilities include:

Strategic Guidance: Advising the Director on the institute’s research priorities, helping to define long-term goals, and ensuring the institute remains focused on areas of emerging importance in mathematics.

Evaluation of Research: Reviewing the institute’s research quality and impact, offering feedback to ensure the institute’s activities contribute meaningfully to the global mathematical community.

Networking and Collaboration: Using their global networks to promote collaborations with other research institutions, universities, and industry partners, helping the institute build valuable international relationships and increase its visibility.

Mentoring the Director: Offering guidance to the Director on strategic decisions and challenges, acting as a sounding board for new initiatives and long-term planning.

Promoting Innovation: Encouraging innovation and interdisciplinary collaborations, advising on ways the institute can encourage new research directions by engaging with fields outside of traditional mathematics.

Accountability and Progress: Engage in regular review of the Institute's progress and impact; be accountable for the mission relevance of such projects; and change strategies as necessary to maintain the leading edge position of the mathematical research being performed.
