The Executive Board conducts the business of the foundation. It settles all matters that the foundation’s charter does not assign to another governing body of the foundation. The scientific member of the board is the speaker of the board. He represents the institute externally. In accordance with the provisions of regional budgetary regulations (§ 9 Landeshaushaltsordnung), the administrative member of the Executive Board is solely responsible for the budget and the business transactions of the current administration. The members of the Board work closely and on a basis of mutual trust to achieve the goals of the institute. The Executive Board ensures the appropriate participation in decision-making of the scientific and technical staff within every sector of the institute through timely and adequate information and regular joint consultation on general objectives, methods, and the implementation of research projects and programmes. For this purpose, the scientific staff is able to form a committee from among its members to represent the interests of staff members to the Executive Board. As the supervisory body of the institute, the Executive Board is accountable to the Board of Trustees for the finances and the fulfilment of the objectives of the foundation. It prepares the meetings of the Board of Trustees and executes their decisions. The Executive Board makes reports for the Board of Trustees at every meeting regarding the activities and situation of the foundation. The reports must be prepared in accordance with the principles of conscientious and faithful accounting. The Board supports the Scientific Advisory Board of the AIP as an internationally comprised advisory body. To this purpose, the Board prepares the meetings of the Scientific Advisory Board and informs it as part of its right to information on all matters relevant to its advisory activity. |
