IVA’s approximately 1,000 Swedish Fellows are divided into 12 Divisions. The Divisions monitor and work on issues in their specific fields, not least by organising seminars and other activities related to current events in the wider world. The Divisions are involved in work on IVA’s programmes, projects and consultation responses within their specialist areas, and put forward new Fellows of IVA for election. The Division Secretary is always a member of IVA’s Secretariat.
