IMB's Scientific Management Department provides support in a number of areas. We aim to ensure that our researchers work in a vibrant scientific atmosphere and can focus on their work with minimal bureaucratic burden.

Amongst others, the department’s activities include:

• Recruitment and training of junior scientists, e.g. through IMB’s International PhD Programme, Postdoc Programme and International Summer School 
• Career development for scientists at IMB, e.g. through initiatives such as our annual Career Day
• Management of scientific events held at IMB, such as conferences, workshops, retreats and IMB's international Seminar and Lecture series
• Support with the acquisition and management of external funding, such as project grants and fellowships
• Management of press and public relations, including IMB’s webpage, press releases and informational material about IMB, such as flyers and IMB's Annual Reports
• Organisation of IMB’s Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) meetings and research evaluations  

The Scientific Management Department is headed by Ralf Dahm.
