We congratulate our Cluster Principal Investigator, Prof. Dr. Stefanie Dehnen, on her election to the Senate of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). She will take office in January 2026 as one of six newly elected members. The DFG Senate is the central scientific body responsible for major decisions regarding research funding, as well as the structure of evaluation, review, and decision-making procedures. This appointment recognizes her exceptional contributions to molecular chemistry and science policy. To learn more about her work and scientific journey, watch our latest Women in Science video feature released earlier this year.
