International Advisory Board
The International Advisory Board of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation is an independent, international expert group which meets once a year to discuss strategic issues relating to the global mobility of researchers and the internationalization of research. The Board provides a forum for debate on global developments in science and academia, science policy, and science administration.
History and Mission
The Humboldt Foundation’s International Advisory Board was established in 2007 in response to an increasing demand for expertise on issues relating to the internationalization of sciences and humanities. It is the successor to the Advisory Board of the Foundation's Transatlantic Science and Humanities Program (TSHP), which was established in 2001 with the aim of creating a binational network of experienced leaders from German and North American academia, science administration, and science policy. The International Advisory Board supports the Foundation's strategic planning. As an independent expert group, it addresses current developments in global academic markets and identifies topics of special strategic concern to the Foundation and its partners in Germany, the United States, and beyond.
Forum on the Internationalization of Sciences and Humanities
The International Advisory Board hosts an annual Forum on the Internationalization of Sciences and Humanities, opening its discussions to a select group of leading international experts and top management officials representing the Foundation's partner organisations. The forum provides an opportunity for eminent international experts to hold an open exchange of views in a private setting. Important minutes of the proceedings and recommendations are published for the benefit of a wider audience.
