The members are voted in by the members of their groups in the Member Council. For every member of the Board of Directors a replacement person is elected. The Board of Directors meets at least once a semester.

The Executive Director and his/her deputy are elected by the Board of Directors from the GGN‘s group of professors/supervisors. The Executive Director presides over the Board of Directors, leads and administers the center and he/she represents the GGN intramurally and to third parties.

The Board of Directors and the Executive Director are supported for the day-to-day business by at least one managing director. The Executive Director, his/her proxy and the managing director(s) jointly form the Executive Board of the GGN.
