Leadership

Interdisciplinary research,
education and capacity building
in advanced digital media

CoLab is governed by a Board consisting of a Board of Directors and an Executive Board.

The overall CoLab program as well as each of its academic areas is headed by a pair of Directors from Portugal and UT Austin, assisted in some cases by Co-Directors.

Ongoing evaluation of CoLab's work is carried out by an External Review Committee of international experts.
