An external Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) consisting of internationally
excellent scientists in the fields of research of the RTG-NCA monitors
and evaluates the progress of the RTG.

Every other year, members of the SAB participate in annual RTG-NCA retreats.
The SAB attends for the whole duration of the retreat and participate in all retreat sessions, has joint and individual meetings with Doctoral Candidates and Graduates of the RTG-NCA, as well as the PIs., and interacts extensively with RTG-NCA members.

The Spokesperson provides relevant information and updates on graduate programme’s development, both, in a presentation on the programme as well as in a report, prepared before the retreat.
