Franziska Boehm becomes a member of the German Council for Scientific Information Infrastructures (RfII)

Karlsruhe, November 02, 2026 — As of November 2026, Prof. Dr. Franziska Boehm, Vice President Intellectual Property Rights  (IGR) at FIZ Karlsruhe, will be a member of the German Council for Scientific Information Infrastructures (RfII).

The RFII advises policymakers and the scientific community on the further development of information infrastructures in Germany. During the upcoming term, the agenda will include, among other things, resilience and sovereignty, as well as artificial intelligence in science. The further development of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) is also expected to play a role. Franziska Boehm would like to contribute to the Council’s work, particularly on these topics.

Her appointment continues a certain tradition: Sabine Brünger-Weilandt was already a member of the RFII during her tenure as President & CEO of FIZ Karlsruhe. The fact that a representative of the institute is once again serving on this body shows the importance of FIZ Karlsruhe’s technical expertise for the further development of information infrastructures in Germany.
