University of Excellence external expert panel
Universität Hamburg—University of Excellence takes advice from experts in the fields of science, economics, and culture, as well as from the University’s own experts. For this purpose, it has established 5 central panels for the corresponding dimensions (Research, Knowledge Exchange, Research Infrastructure, and Internationalization). The Excellence Advisory Board is responsible for overarching topics.
