International Advisory Council
The International Advisory Council (IAC) advise the Cluster about its long-term strategic development. It consists of ten international, highly recognized experts from academia and industry who are no members of the participating institutions. The members of the IAC has been appointed by the Presidents of UUlm and KIT upon suggestion by the board. They will be invited to the annual conclave meeting and to the review meetings of the Cluster and afterwards give advice to the board.
