They hold an elective office and are elected by the staff every 4 years. Ombudspersons may not be members of the Executive Board. The ombudspersons stand for an impartial approach to disputes, taking into account the interests of staff members. This includes doctoral candidates, students, trainees and pupils at the IOM as well as visiting researchers and former staff members.

The Young Researcher Representative is an elected representative and represents the concerns and interests of young researchers/doctoral researchers, such as scholarship holders, research assistants and visiting researchers with a diploma, Master's or Magister degree (not older than 4 years) vis-à-vis the Executive Board. The representative is the contact person in an advisory capacity for all possible problems and questions and the interface between the young researchers, doctoral researchers, supervisors, group leaders and the board of the IOM. The aim is also to promote contact between and exchange among the junior researchers.
The representative has the right to nominate candidates for young researcher prizes awarded by third parties (e.g. research prizes at certain conferences, etc.).
