ESF-hosted scientific platforms develop a strategic approach to their domains in close collaboration with national authorities or European agencies and research entities. They are composed of high-level, independent researchers or research managers who provide targeted expert advice in areas of science, policy, infrastructure, environment and society in Europe. They have the expertise and authority to exercise influence with decision makers and funding agencies.
ESF can establish and manage the executive office/secretariat of Expert Committees, Institutes and societies, allowing these independent structures to operate following their own governance (individual or institutional membership), terms of reference and funding without the need to create a legal structure.
