Research Advisory Council
The Research Advisory Council, which is made up of nationally and internationally renowned bioenergy experts, has advised the DBFZ on the direction of its scientific activities since its foundation in 2008. The advisory council's advice ensures that the research carried out with institutional funding is scientifically sound and highly relevant to the current and future use of bioenergy in the energy system.
With the beginning of 2020, five new members (*) have taken up their activities in the Research Advisory Council. The term of the newly appointed committee is the period 2020 - 2023.
