Kai Müller is the new President of the Association of Botanic Gardens

Prof. Dr. Kai Müller, Director of the Botanic Garden at Münster University, is the new President of the Association of Botanic Gardens (VBG). This means that Münster now plays a central role in the network of botanic gardens. Practically all botanic gardens in the German-speaking world are organised in the VBG without exception, but also some gardens from more distant countries. Currently, more than 100 institutions are members of the association, with thousands of employees (gardeners, technical directors, curators, scientific staff, etc.) who can take advantage of the offers of the association or actively participate in the numerous working groups of the association; in addition, there are more than 400 personal memberships and other supporters.  

The VBG represents the interests of its members both nationally and internationally. It is committed to the conservation of biological diversity and is guided by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations and the National Strategy for Biological Diversity. For representatives from politics and business, from authorities at federal, state and district level or other interest groups, the VBG represents an open and competent contact for joint projects or other concerns of botanic gardens.
