Biosciences and Public Health Steering Panel

The Steering Panel is co-chaired by Andre Knottnerus and Bert Rima. 

The steering panel advises the Programme Director, the Board, and the Council on the scientific scope, strategic significance, value and viability of proposed reports and other EASAC output. The Panel meets normally twice a year to discuss the latest issues of concern to the Biosciences science community, general strategy and decisions on project proposals.
