This body, created in 2022 and dependent on the Consell Insular de Menorca, is the one that manages the assets of Talayotic Menorca. It has its own staff and budget, within the general budget of the Consell. It has its headquarters in the Consell building, in the Plaça de la Biosfera (Maó).
How does the Agency operate?
The agency is articulated from several internal bodies:
Presidency: Joan Pons Torres. This position corresponds to the person who holds the Presidency of the Consell Insular de Menorca or, by delegation, to the conseller responsible for historical heritage, as is currently the case.
Vice-presidency: Jaime Reurer Morlà. This position corresponds to the competent conseller in matters of historical heritage or to the corresponding island director of Cultural Affairs, if the conseller occupies the presidency, as is the current case.
Governing Council: This is the body responsible for approving the actions of the Talayotic Menorca Agency and is made up of its internal officers, institutional representatives, technical officers and representatives of the Scientific Council and the Social Council of the Talayotic Menorca Agency.
Executive Commission: It is in charge of the ordinary administration and is formed by the internal officers of the Talayotic Menorca Agency, the head of the Historical Heritage Service of the CIM and the person in charge of the management of the Biosphere Reserve Agency.
Scientific Council: It is an advisory body, formed by the internal officers of the Talayotic Menorca Agency and a large number of people linked to the scientific field.
Social Council: It is a consultative body formed by the internal officers of the Talayotic Menorca Agency and representatives of political parties, civil organizations, companies, associations of economic interest, business or trade unions and educational and cultural institutions.
Management: Antoni Ferrer Rotger. The director is elected for a maximum period of ten years, through a selection process that takes into account the work experience and academic training of the candidates. The director is the person who proposes the actions of the Talayotic Menorca Agency, but the agency's bylaws establish that he/she does not have the right to vote on the Governing Council or the Executive Commission.
