The steering group

Together with the coordination office, the steering group forms the management structure of the modeling network. Its main task is to make decisions on the strategic direction of the modeling network and to develop corresponding concepts. It is made up of the head of the Coordination Office and two members from each research network. Representatives of the Scientific Advisory Board, the BMFTR and the project management organization as well as the scientific coordinators and project managers of the Coordination Office also take part in the meetings as permanent guests.

In addition to its central function as a platform for the exchange of information on the objectives and progress of the research work of the individual alliances, the steering group is also the point of contact for scientific inquiries, for example from politics or the healthcare sector. Such inquiries are forwarded by the coordination office to the steering group. The coordination office and steering group are working together to disseminate the research results of the modeling network and are constantly looking for new networking partners.
