Advisory board

Advisory board

Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) of scientific, industry, policy experts in industry decarbonisation and circularity with a focus on modelling science will be set up on behalf of the consortium and managed by ICCS. Focus has been placed on receiving critical input from leading industry associations and providing access to the P4P Impact Panel; representatives of such associations will be part of the SAB. This group will advise us on matters related to the implementation and development of project activities, including transparency, legitimacy, and scope of activities and methods applied, as well as the robustness and dissemination of our results. Its collective expertise will draw on a broad range of perspectives from the scientific disciplines underlying mitigation, CE research and policy, and sustainability of European and global industry. Confirmed synthesis includes:
