Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics forms an important interface supporting the exchange between scientists and the general public. The trustees are important contributors to German public life, representing the media, economy, politics and science. Their principal task is to advise the Institute on issues of science policy, finance and organisation, and to foster good relations to other parts of society.
