Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees serves as a crucial tool for public communication. Its members include influential figures from politics, business, science, culture, and the media. During an annual meeting, these members receive up-to-date information about the institute's development and the Max Planck Society. The Board of Trustees actively supports the institute in addressing societal, scientific, and political issues. Members of the Board of Trustees are appointed by the President of the Max Planck Society. This deliberate selection process ensures a broad diversity and balanced representation of both genders within the Board of Trustees.
