Advisory Board

The Advisory Board has been established to support LUGO in its operations.

The Advisory Board supports LUGO in different ways:

1. Advising LUGO at a strategic and/or tactical level and to contribute ideas for possible activities and/or their implementation;
2. Reviewing LUGO’s activities against its overall aims and its annual plan, budget and annual report; 
3. Serving as an ambassador of LUGO within Leiden University;
4. Assisting LUGO in achieving its goals, e.g. by generating publicity for activities.

The Advisory Board consists of four to five members, who are either staff members or students (from co-participation) at Leiden University. In its composition the Advisory Board reflects various parts of the University; usually a member of the University Council forms part of the Advisory Board.
 

For the academic year 2025/2026 the Advisory Board consists of:

• Esther Kentin, Lecturer at the Department Moot Court and Advocacy, Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies Leiden University, and Project Leader of Leiden Advocacy Project on Plastic.
• Katarzyna Cwiertka, Professor of Modern Japan Studies, Leiden University Institute for Area Studies.
• Roy Remme, Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Science, Leiden University, and Researcher at the Institute of Environmental Sciences (CML)
