Scientific Advisory Board of the Institute

To ensure a high quality of research is maintained over the long term, all Max Planck Institutes are subject to regular assessment from independent advisory boards.

The Scientific Advisory Board consists of internationally renowned researchers from Germany and other countries. Its main task is the regular evaluation of the research performed in the institute. Based on this, the board advises the institute and the president of the Max Planck Society concerning the innovative development of the institute’s research as well as concerning an efficient deployment of the available funding. The members of the Scientific Advisory Board are appointed by the president of the Max Planck Society.
