The Director of the IAB heads and represents the Institute as a whole, both internally and externally, and works closely together with IAB's Deputy Director. Since September 2019 Professor Bernd Fitzenberger, PhD is the new Director of the Institute. Together, the Director and the Deputy Director constitute the Directorate of the Institute and are supported in their work by advisors and various secretariats.
The Directorate runs and steers the course of the Institute. It decides upon the strategic direction of IAB and carries the responsibility for all the overall decisions of the Institute. It defines the basic lines of research and scientific approach and gives impulses for scientifically based policy advice. Decisions concerning personnel and major parts of the budget rest with the Directorate.
The Director and Vice Director regulate the distribution of the tasks of the Directorate of the Institute between themselves within IAB's Rules of Operation. The Vice Director of IAB can represent the Director of IAB.
