Our international advisory board comprises professors at leading universities who, like the principal investigators of the research unit, stem from the fields of business studies, economic geography or sociology. Two additional are experts in each field of study, pharma and music respectively.

The main role of the advisory board is to advise the research unit as a whole, as well as provide input and critical feedback on individual projects. The research unit will regularly report the progress to the advisory board. We envision this to be an important monitoring and quality assurance measure.
