Foundation Board

According to the Deed of the Foundation, the Board includes the scientific community (usually four seats for representatives from universities), the industrial sponsors (one seat combined), the federal authorities (one seat combined for FOEN, FOPH, OFCOM, SFOE) and the NGOs (one seat combined). The members of the Board work on an honorary basis.

The Foundation Board elects the members of the Scientific Committee, determines the research funds as well as the budget of the Administrative Office, deals with appeals of project applicants and decides on the exclusion of researchers from project funding in case of gross breaches of contract.
