On-site visits

The Scientific Advisory Board meets four times per year to review submitted projects and assess their chance of success. Where necessary, the Board members also travel to an institution to discuss the project on site—for example to the Technical University of Munich (TUM). In the photo, Werner Siemens Foundation Endowed Chair Thomas Brück (right, from behind) explains the complex infrastructure at TUM's Synthetic Biotechnology lab.
