Scientific Advisory Board

Scientific Advisory Board

The Scientific Advisory Board is an external advisory body that reviews the scientific work of the institute and its departments. It consists of internationally recognized scientists from leading research institutions and universities worldwide who are appointed by the President of the Max Planck Society.

The MPI is evaluated every three years. The scientific status report of the Institute on current and planned research projects serves as a written basis. The Board meets with the Institute's leadership, the various research and service groups, junior scientists, and non-scientific staff. The Board then makes recommendations regarding development and optimization potential.

The Scientific Advisory Board of the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology currently has the following members:

John Innes Centre, Norwich Research Park, Norwich (U.K.)
