The shareholders of FIZ Karlsruhe have appointed Prof. Dr. Wolfram Horstmann as the new President & CEO. He will succeed Sabine Brünger-Weilandt, who is retiring after more than 20 years. During her term of office, the former scientific and technical information center was successfully transformed into today's interdisciplinary networked, internationally renowned Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure, which successfully faced the strategic challenges of digital transformation at an early stage.

He also has been an honorary professor at the Institute for Library and Information Science of the Humboldt University in Berlin since 2017.
