Nominate scientists for membership in the EC Group of Chief Scientific Advisors

The European Commission has launched a call for nominations of scientists to be shortlisted for future membership in the Group of Chief Scientific Advisors (GCSA).

The group provides high-quality, timely and independent scientific advice to the College of European Commissioners on any subject, including on policy issues that the European Parliament and the Council consider to be of major importance.

Public European research and science organisations are invited to nominate top-level scientists who meet the criteria stated in the call for nominations.

The seven members of the GCSA are selected for their outstanding level of scientific expertise and broad vision on science for policy, which collectively reflects an understanding of important scientific developments, including interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research. They are appointed by the Commissioner responsible for research and innovation from a short-list established by an independent, high-level Identification Committee.

The deadline for submitting nominations is 30 September 2024 (18:00 CET).
