Scientific Advisory Board
The Scientific Advisory Board plays a central role in defining the Institute's scientific orientations.
It meets at least once a year to advise the Collegial management on the applications received, on the exchanges likely to take place between their authors, and on the scientific policy to be implemented. Board members are also invited to promote the Institute and recommend researchers who might be invited.
