SAC-IMBB
IMBB has set up and maintains an international advisory board, which evaluates the achievements of individual researchers triennially. IMBB-SAC also provides advice in scientific management issues, development and operation of common facilities, educational program and exploitation of scientific results.
SAC is an independent board composed by the Chair (appointed by the Director and the Scientific Council of IMBB) and the Members (appointed by the Chair of SAC). Each member is appointed for a 9-years term and members rotate out in an overlapping manner to secure continuity.
Current Chair of IMBB-SAC is Dr Spyros Artavanis-Tsakonas (2018-today). Previously SAC was led by Michel Ashburner and Fotis Kafatos.
In 2021 the General Secretary of Science and Innovation (GSRI) appointed Dr Miltos Tsiantis to Chair Scientific Evaluation Committee (SEC) for IMBB.
