Consisting of leading international neuroscience experts, the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) has the task of advising Paris Brain Institute and providing the necessary support in defining its overall strategy.
Every five years, Paris Brain Institute, as a Unité Mixte de Recherche (UMR), is assessed on the quality of its research, organization, strategy and scientific projects over the next five years. After exchanges and discussions, the International Scientific Council issues an opinion which is taken into account in the dossier submitted for evaluation by the Haut Conseil de l'Evaluation de la Recherche et de l'Enseignement Supérieur (HCERES).
