In 2024, the BUA has set up an Advisory Board for the BCGE with the aim of providing advice on the strategic design and implementation of the Center’s activities. The tasks of the Board are, on the one hand, to advise the BCGE on strategies and programs and, on the other, to connect it with relevant stakeholders, both nationally and internationally. It meets once a year.

The Board consists of eight renowned researchers, including four from the four BUA institutions and four from external institutions, mainly based in the Global South. The current members are:

• Professor Isabella Aboderin, University of Bristol, United Kingdom
• Professor Prathama Banerjee, Center for the Study of Developing Societies, India
• Professor Fernanda Beigel, CONICET, Argentina
• Professor Felix Dakora, Tshwane University of Technology, South Africa
• Professor Philipp Dann, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
• Professor Hansjörg Dilger, Freie Universität Berlin
• Professor Beate Kampmann, Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin
• Professor Bénédicte Savoy, Technische Universität Berlin
