The CCG/ZGDV Institute is governed by a Board of Directors made up of five Administrators. The Board of Directors reports to a General Assembly and its Associates.

The creation of the Advisory Council, within the scope of CCG/ZGDV Public Utility Statute recognition, in December 2021, establishes greater rigor to the institution. It includes personalities (national and international) of recognised merit and business and professional experience, who contribute to CCG/ZGDV Institute advice and strategic development.

The CCG/ZGDV Institute has two Constituent Associates: University of Minho and Fehst Consulting & Innovation SA, as well as several founding associates and adherents from business and associative world.
