Scientific Advisory Board

The Research Councils at the Academy of Finland nominate a Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) to the Centres of Excellence (CoE) in their field of research. The purpose of the Board is to advise and support the Centre in the implementation of its research plan. The Board meets twice in a three-year period (four times in the six years) at the invitation of the Centre.
