Following an audit, the strategy group of external experts, which was set up by Minister Backhaus, came to the conclusion that the research institute is on a promising path. According to the report, the change process has arrived at the FBN and is being lived by the entire institute. The report now available also positively emphasises the interdisciplinary cooperation and the development of research activities across various focus topics. The research topics are politically and socially relevant and the quality of the research is high.
The FBN will implement the report's valuable recommendations for the further transformation process and continue along the path it has successfully begun.
