Scientific Advisory Board

The Advisory Board typically assesses the resource allocation for departments and research groups every two years. This ensures that only current research areas of the highest international caliber are addressed. Members of the Advisory Board, selected by the President of the Max Planck Society based on recommendations from the institute, come from leading research institutions and universities worldwide. Appointment to the Advisory Board is for a maximum term of six years, with a partial reappointment of members every three years. This selection process ensures the inclusion of diverse perspectives and maintains a commitment to gender equality.
