Article 6 of Regional Act 7/2019 states that the Foundation shall acquire a scientific advisory board, named International Scientific Board (ISB), composed, on the one hand, of experts recommended by the Founding Members and, on the other hand, of International experts. ISB directs the Foundation’s activity and elaborates medium and long-term scenarios on sciences and technologies evolution as a response to UN Millennium Goals. The 12th of January 2021, after an accurate research, also in cooperation with the aforementioned work teams, the Foundation has nominated ISB’s members, chosen among people who may have a strong leadership in the stated domains at the International level. The members of this body have been elected, as established by the Foundation statute.
