Steering Committee

As the strategic management instrument of the center, the steering board is composed of the four directors of the participating institutes and a representative from Fraunhofer headquarters (Munich). The steering board represents the center at the management level vis-à-vis funding agencies and decision-makers from authorities and organizations for safety and security, industry and politics. Thus, the board sets the framework for the external positioning and is responsible for the center's medium-term orientation and financing as well as the development of the scientific portfolio. Overall, the Steering Board thus ensures the center's fundamental ability to work.
