Looking over our shoulders

The Scientific Advisory Board works on an honorary basis. It comments on questions that we submit to it for assessment. Conversely, it can request an insight into our activities. If it decides unanimously, we are obliged to follow its advice. The Advisory Board may propose the appointment of further members.
