In collaboration with 38 other newly elected scientists, Jörg Rocholl, Deutsche Bank professor in sustainable finance and chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board at the Federal Ministry of Finance, will contribute his extensive scientific expertise to acatech on a voluntary basis. As a member of the academy, which has over 600 members, Mr. Rocholl will join other experts from science and industry. His role will involve participating in discussions on project topics and engaging in thematic networks focused on specialist topics in technical sciences, as well as overarching issues with a technology policy background.



“I am delighted to have been appointed as a new member of the National Academy of Science and Engineering. acatech is an important voice of the technological sciences, with national and international appeal. As an organization, it actively promotes dialogue between science, politics, business, and society. The scientific achievements and reputation of its members form the basis for the academy's comprehensive advisory services. I therefore consider it an honor and a distinction to now be part of this academy,” says Rocholl.
