SAC Membership

Scientific Advisory Committee

The role of this 16-member Committee is to advise the Council’s Board with respect to assessment topic selection, terms of reference, and peer review. The Committee will also be among several sources of advice on selection of expert panelists.

The members of SAC are eminent representatives of the broad science community, drawing from the academic, business and non-governmental sectors. Membership reflects balance in terms of discipline, geography, gender and official language community.
