Scientific Advisory Board

The Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) is composed of independent experts, each of whom is among the highest-raking scientists in the world in one of the fields of research conducted at ARC CBBC. The task of the SAB is to review the content of proposed projects, when these are first started up and at regular intervals. The SAB is also charged with the nomination of new ARC CBBC members.
