Science Policy and the Standing Committees/Expert Boards
ESF Standing Committees and Expert Boards are key players in the development of science policy strategies in their scientific fields and research areas. They produce position papers and briefings to ensure the voice of European science is heard and plays a role in major European science policy issues.
Examples of recent science policy activities of the ESF Standing Committees and Expert Boards include:
- ESF Policy Briefing N°26 "Rheumatic Diseases" (EMRC)
- ESF Policy Briefing N°27 "Structural Medicine: the importance of Glycomics for Health and Disease" (EMRC)
- Navigating the future III: Position Paper n°8 of Marine Board-ESF
