Organization
Scientific Advisory Board
The Scientific Advisory Board supports the museum in its scientific work and makes recommendations on issues of fundamental scientific significance.
Its key duties include advising the director general and the governing board on the planning of research and other academic aspects of museum work, in addition to making scientific assessments of longer-term concepts with regard to the museum’s collections and exhibitions.
According to the statutes, the Museum’s Scientific Advisory Board consists of nine to twelve members elected by the museum’s governing board for a maximum of two four-year terms.
The Scientific Advisory Board consists of scientists and academics from museums, universities and industry. At least two members should be from abroad.
The Advisory Board meets at least once a year. Members of the Advisory Board serve in an honorary capacity.
