The International Scientific Advisory Board (IWB) of the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) advises the IDOS team strategically on scientific orientation, conceptual and methodological implementation, international partnerships and structural developments. The advisory board consists of internationally renowned scientists from Germany and abroad who are internationally recognised in the research fields of IDOS, represent globally and disciplinarily different science systems, and bring experience from different science-policy interfaces into the advisory of the IDOS portfolio. In this way, the Advisory Board supports the IDOS team in conducting science consisting of research, policy advice and training, internationally networked and of the highest scientific standards.
