Advisory Board

The Advisory Board of University College Freiburg was institutionalized in 2013 and convened for the first time in June of 2014. Its statutory role is to advise and support UCF in establishing interdisciplinary and internationally oriented teaching programs at the University of Freiburg. This takes on the form of recommendations concerning UCF governance, its current programs and new initiatives, and/or national and international networking support for UCF and UCF students. Accordingly, the Advisory Board consists of distinguished representatives from civil society, business, and politics as well as from our students’ future work areas.
