The Steering Committee advises the HPC Board of Directors with regard to scientific strategy, and fosters national and international visibility to attract outstanding scientific talents. The Steering Committee members contribute to the regular quality control/peer-selection of HPC principal investigator applications. They are instrumental in accelerating HPC's integration within the Munich-based, as well as international scientific community and amplify HPC's global ambition as an innovator-hub at the interface of bioengineering, biomedicine and bioinformatics.

The Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) provides an objective and external perspective to HPC and ensures the quality and international standards of HPC’s scientific and institutional operations. Specifically, the SAB advises the HPC Board of Directors on emerging global scientific trends and research priorities. The SAB also contributes to HPC's international visibility, enables scientific collaborations and partnerships, and serves a crucial role in the peer-evaluation of HPC scientists at the time of contract renewals.
