The governing bodies of the National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Research Institutes (ANVUR) are established by the Regulation on the Structure and Functioning of ANVUR.

The Agency’s governing bodies are:

• The President, elected from within the Governing Board by a two-thirds majority of the eligible members. The President convenes and chairs the Board meetings, coordinates its activities, and oversees the implementation of its decisions. Among the Board members, the President appoints a Vice President, who substitutes for them in case of absence or impediment.
• The Governing Board, which is responsible for the political and strategic direction of the Agency. The President, elected from its members, serves as the legal representative of the institution. The Board defines the evaluation procedures, establishing precise rules and methods. It also plans the Agency’s future activities and approves both the evaluation results and the Agency’s financial statements. Additionally, upon the President's proposal, the Board has the power to appoint the Agency’s Director.
• The Board of Auditors, which is responsible for monitoring the Agency’s administrative and financial activities.

The terms for the President, members of the Governing Board, and members of the Board of Auditors last for six years and are non-renewable. If the President or a member of any governing body leaves office before the end of their mandate, their appointed successor remains in office for the remaining duration of the original mandate.
