The Scientific Advisory Board

The Scientific Advisory Board offers advice to the Supervisory Board and the Management in all professional, scientific and political matters. Another activity is to promote the collaboration between FIZ Karlsruhe and partners from science, industry, politics and the public.

To safeguard the quality of products, services, and research activities, the Scientific Advisory Board conducts an additional audit, usually between two regular evaluations by the Leibniz Association. The members of the Scientific Advisory Board are appointed by the Supervisory Board on the suggestion of the Management; they represent FIZ Karlsruhe’s business areas.
