The Scientific Council gives its opinion on IRSN’s programs. It assesses their results and is able to provide recommendations on the direction of the Institute’s activities. It may be consulted by the Board’s chairperson or by the supervisory ministers on any subject within the Institute’s remit. Its opinion may be sought on any issue or project involving IRSN.
The Scientific Council meets twice a year in plenary session and may also meet, at its convenience, with fewer participants, possibly extended to include external experts in order to review a research theme or program more precisely.
