The Leibniz ScienceCampus is strategically steered by the Board of Directors that consists of the President & CEO of FIZ Karlsruhe and the Vice-President Research of KIT, with the spokesperson and its Coordinators as permanent guests. The Administrative and Scientific Coordinators carry out all operational tasks and follow up on milestones and deliverables. They coordinate the Research Clusters and Dimensions, partners and communication activities. The researchers work in the respective research clusters, dimensions and use cases, both on specific questions as well as on overarching topics. At the meta-level, they reflect together on the effects of digitalisation within and outside the academic system and identify solutions to challenges that arise.
