Entrepreneur meets philosopher: The executive board of the Giordano Bruno Stiftung currently consists of two persons, foundation founder Herbert Steffen (1st chairman) and spokesman of the executive board Dr. Michael Schmidt-Salomon. The two met at the beginning of December 2003. Two weeks later they decided to create a foundation to promote evolutionary humanism. On 15 April 2004, the Giordano Bruno Stiftung was recognised as a "public foundation under civil law with legal capacity".
