The steering group

Together with the coordination office, the steering group forms the joint management structure of the modeling network. Their main task is to make decisions about 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 of each research network. In addition, representatives of the scientific advisory board, the BMBF and the project management organization as well as the scientific coordinators and project managers of the coordination office also attend the meetings as permanent guests.

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