Management Committee
The Management Committee (MK) advises the directors and discusses processes of interest for the whole institute. Members of the MK are the directors and representatives of different areas (institute and service - see "Members"). Beside the permanent members, additional persons can be invited for special topics.
The MK meets once a month (first Tuesday of a month). MPI-M employees will find the minutes under "Minutes" in the intranet (in German only).
