The Scientific Advisory Board

The Scientific Advisory Board plays a key role in the definition of the scientific orientations of the Institute. At least once year, the members of Scientific Advisory Board meet with the Collegial Direction Team to hand over recommendations about the applications selection process, about the potential exchanges between future potential fellows and about the scientific policy to implement. The members of the Scientific Advisory Board are also invited to promote the Institute for Advanced Study and to recommend scholars who are likely to be invited.
