Organization

The Fondazione Mariani is governed by a Board of Directors comprising seven to nine members, two of which were elected by the founder, Luisa Toffoloni Mariani, with a lifelong term of office. The Scientific Director of the “Carlo Besta” Neurological Institute is also appointed for the time of office as a member pro tempore.
Two Auditors supervise the administrative and accounting activities. The Board is supported by a Scientific Committee which has played an advisory role since 1988. The Scientific Committee complies with some internationally recognized working methods, such as the recourse to external referees.
