The structure includes the following key components:

- The Director and Associate Director
- The Founding Director

CINE faculty
Professors affiliated with CINE meet every two months to discuss collaborative projects, academic activities, and strategies for the center’s growth. These meetings provide a platform to share research updates, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and align efforts with CINE’s overarching goals.
CINE Student Committee
CINE also fosters student involvement through a dedicated Student Committee, which meets regularly to discuss initiatives, provide feedback, and support CINE's education mission.
