STRUCTURE CHART Description of the institutional structure. If available a figure can be attached with this form

The museum is currently divided into the following Departments:

Directorate General, including Administration
The Department for Collections
The Department for Research Infrastructure
The Department for Exhibitions and Public Education

Research is organised in temporary cross-cutting Science Programs ("Forschungsbereiche"), which currently include the following:

Discovery of Biodiversity
Genome - Organism - Environment
Diversity Dynamics
Impact, Meteorites and Geological Processes
Collection Development
Science Communication and History of Science

The number of Science Programs and topics are flexible and depend on the academic focus of the Museum at any given time. Future structure of the Museum ( future organisation chart MfN) The Museum is about to change its structure. If the Board of Trustees agrees during its meeting on 11 November 2013 on the new structure, the four Departments and the temporary Science Programs will be replaced by four Science Programs.

The Museum will then comprise:

Directorate General (Directorate and Administration)
Science Program ‘Evolution and geoprocesses’
Science Program ‘Collections development and biodiversity discovery’
Science Program ‘Digital world and information science’
Science Program ‘Public engagement with science’

The Board of Trustees supervises the scientific, programmatic, and economic affairs of the museum.

It has three born members, one each representing the Senate of Berlin and the Federal Government, as the main funding organizations, and the president of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
