Impulses from personalities from business, politics and society
The members of the Advisory Council meet regularly at the DKFZ and inform themselves about current research projects and infrastructure measures as well as research policy strategies and framework conditions. They use their extensive experience to advise and support the DKFZ Board of Directors and see themselves as ambassadors for the German Cancer Research Center. They establish contacts and are also committed to tapping into private research funding resources.
