Executive Board
The Executive Board consists of ten members including the coordinator. It administrates the central budget and organises the evaluation of projects and project proposals. The Executive Board decides on the scientific research program and meets monthly. UniCat’s graduate school BIG-NSE (Berlin International Graduate School of Natural Sciences and Engineering) is supervised by the Executive Board.
The Members of the Executive Board are:
 | Prof. Matthias Driess Inorganic Chemistry |  | Prof. Peter Hildebrandt Biophysical Chemistry |
 | Prof. Reinhard Schomäcker Chemical Engineering |  | Prof. Arne Thomas Functional Materials |
 | Prof. Robert Bittl Physics |  | Prof. Holger Dobbek Biology and Biochemistry |
 | Prof. Joachim Sauer Theoretical Chemistry |  | Prof. Hajo Freund Chemical Physics |
 | Prof. Silke Leimkühler Biochemistry |  | Dr. Ralph Krähnert Technical Chemistry |
The Executive Board was elected by the General Assembly the first time in November 2008. The second election was in November 2012. The proportion of female scientists on the Executive Board reflects the percentage of female members of the Cluster.
In November 2014, Dr. Ralph Krähnert became a board member instead of Dr. Anna Fischer who had accepted an offer for a full professorship at Freiburg University.
Former Members of the Executive Board:
 | Dr. Anna Fischer Nano-materials Board member 2010-2014 |  | Prof. Günter Wozny Chemical Engineering Board member 2008-2012 |
 | Prof. Peter Hegemann Biophysics Board member 2008-2010 |  | Prof. Matthias Kraume |
In November 2012, there was a small change: the bio-physicist Prof. Dr. Peter Hegemann from HU Berlin was followed by Prof. Dr. Holger Dobbek, a biologist from HU Berlin. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Günter Wozny (chemical engineering) left the Executive Board for reasons of age. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Kraume (chemical engineering) followed him.
