In 2015 the Board of Trustees of Het Nieuwe Instituut commissioned a report on how it applies the Governance Code for Culture, the standard for transparent management and accountability in the cultural sector. The Board of Trustees accepted all the report's recommendations and agreed a seven-point agenda to further the institute's professionalisation, including the appointment of a director of Business & Development and a new chair of the Board of Trustees.
