Nordita has a
governing Board, appointed jointly by the President/Vice-chancellor of the host universities KTH and Stockholm University, with one representative and one alternate member from each of the five Nordic countries, nominated by the respective research councils. The
Chairman of the Board is nominated by the Joint Committee of the Nordic Natural Science Research Councils, NOS-N. The Nordita board nominates a
Director, responsible for the day-to-day administration of the institute, who is appointed by the President/Vice-chancellor of KTH and Stockholm University.
Since Nordita is not a legal entity in its own right, the institute is
administratively organized as an independent unit one of the two host universities, Stockholm University, reporting directly to the Vice-chancellor.
