Board of Trustees
The ‘Board of Trustees’ at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics (MPI-IE) consisting of prominent individuals from industrial, financial, political and cultural circles reinforces the links between the MPI-IE and the outside community.
One of the main task of the Board is about to strengthen the connections of the Institute to the public sphere and promotes the interaction with the local and social environment of the Institute.
It provides the institute with valuable advice in social and science-political issues and supports further developments of the institute. The board meets once a year to learn about recent developments at the MPI-IE and in the Max Planck Society and to interact with the management board.
