What's On

Since 1962, the International Titisee Conferences (ITCs) of the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds have been held at lake Titisee, in the attractive surroundings of the Black Forest in southern Germany. Their topics cover the entire spectrum of basic research in biomedicine, ranging from “The dynamical brain” to “Protein design at the crossroads of biotechnology, chemistry, theory and evolution”. The conferences are held every spring and autumn and last for 3 days. They are meant to encourage scientific exchange.

The Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds' Board of Trustees includes six renowned scientists, the speaker of the Board of Managing Directors at the company Boehringer Ingelheim and, as a permanent guest, a representative of the German Research Foundation (DFG). Their expert judgment characterizes the work of our foundation. The trustees meet three times a year to decide on the allocation of fellowships.
