External Scientific Advisory Committee
The External Scientific Advisory Committee (CEAC) is an advisory body and one of CAIZEM's strategic pillars. Made up of experts of recognised standing and proven track record at national and international level, its multidisciplinary composition guarantees a plural, rigorous and independent view of the Centre's scientific activity.
The CEAC provides high-level advisory support to the Governing Board, the Scientific Directorate and the Scientific Council in the areas most relevant to CAIZEM's institutional development, the Scientific Programmes, the recruitment of researchers, the creation of Research Teams and, more broadly, the scientific policy to be pursued at the Centre in line with the Strategic Plan.
