Remit

The Scientific Advisory Board gives its opinion on the major orientations of our agency’s scientific strategy and on its activities. It also provides a forward-looking approach and reports on the work undertaken. This body helps to coordinate the efforts of its members in preparing for and responding to crises linked to emerging diseases, at scientific, industrial and public action levels.

It brings together 19 French and international scientific figures, as well as three representatives from the voluntary sector. Members are appointed for a four-year term by the Advisory Board on the recommendation of the agency Director.
