Operational team
The Human Rights Profile Area operations are led by the coordinator in collaboration with a project coordinator and a project administrator. The operational team takes care of the coordination of all platform activities, internal and external communications, administration, event planning and finances.
The profile area operates inter- and transdisciplinary and organisationally does not belong to a certain faculty. Physically the operational team is located at the joint faculties of Humanities and Theology within the Department of History.

Advisory group
The Advisory Group supports the profile area management team with strategic input and knowledge exchange. The group brings together experts from multiple faculties, the Raoul Wallenberg Institute, the Institute for Human Rights, Lund Municipality, and the business sector. Members of the Advisory Group meet once per semester and occasionally in smaller thematic groups. The role is voluntary and aims to foster ideas, insights, and collaboration across sectors.
