Board of Trustees

Prominent individuals from industrial, financial, political, and cultural circles compose our Kuratorium (Board of Trustees). These members strengthen and support the links between our institute and the greater community. This board oversees our affairs, and those of our neighbour, the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces.
