From all over the world six out of eight members of the External Adivsory Board arrived to bring motion into CiM. At the constituent meeting the board elected Klaus Ley as spokesperson. Dr. Ley is the head of the division of inflammation biology at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology. He and the board members took the opportunity to discuss the first steps, visions and ideas of the cluster with the CiM coordinators. A further item on the agenda was the decision on flexible funds for the first funding period. The board will meet once a year to support CiM with their knowledge and experience.
