Scientific Advisory Council

The Scientific Advisory Council is a committee of the NSV Board, established to generate initiatives and facilitate collaboration and the sharing of knowledge, skills and resources across a widely representative neuroscience community. The Council plays a role in policy development, advises the Board on scientific strategy, on particular projects with the potential for commercialisation and options for infrastructure enhancements to further neuroscience research.

Membership comprises all major scientific groups involved with NSV, with members usually, but not exclusively, at the level of full Professor with active scientific as well as clinical involvement to reflect the importance of translational research. Its broad membership means the Council is well placed to provide advice on scientific strategy and encourage collaboration, resource sharing and identification of new funding opportunities.
