BioAgora’s high-level External Advisory Board
The role of the External Advisory Board (EAB) is to help ensuring BioAgora develops the Science Service for Biodiversity functions and provide independent external advice on BioAgora strategic directions and transformative dimensions of the Science Service for Biodiversity.
BioAgora’s EAB is composed of 9 members who have been selected considering their expertise, field of experience, and gender (at least 50 % women). EAB members’ experience and expertise reflect the consortium aspirations, connectivity with key stakeholders’ groups and desire to deliver results that would be relevant for improving the science-policy interface for more effective policy-making on biodiversity and ecosystem services. Members are appointed by the BioAgora Consortium Assembly for a term of 30 months, with the possibility of continuing for a 2nd term.
