Anke Kaysser-Pyzalla, CEO of the German Aerospace Center, Verena Lepper, an Egyptologist, Hagen Duenbostel, an economist, Patrick Cramer, President of the Max Planck Society, and Andrea Buhrmann, representing the senate, are the new additions. Falko Mohrs, the Science Minister, emphasized the addition of these outstanding personalities to the foundation board.
The role of the foundation board is to advise the University of Göttingen, oversee the work of the presidency, and approve the annual report. The board also plays a crucial role in shaping the university's future.
