In the German Research Foundation (DFG) Review Board elections in autumn 2023, Prof. Megow was re-elected to the Computer Science Review Board. Over 50,000 researchers participated in the election, submitting up to six electronic votes for 1,631 candidates in 49 review boards.
The Computer Science Review Board consists of 23 members. Professor Dr. Barbara Hammer, Chair of the Machine Learning Group at Bielefeld University, was elected as the deputy spokesperson. The term of office runs from 2024 to 2028, in line with the term of the new review board.
The review boards are responsible for evaluating proposals submitted to the DFG through a three-step process of review, assessment, and decision. They compare all proposals to identify the most deserving projects within the available financial framework, ensuring that proposals across all DFG programs are evaluated according to consistent standards.
