Scientific Advisory Board

The Scientific Advisory Board has the formal role of suggesting research lines that need to be strengthened within the NCCR, or that have run their course, and act as an independent reviewer of the activities of the NCCR in addition to the official Review Panel of the SNSF. The Scientific Advisory Board is chaired by Giulia Galli.
