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).
