International Scientific Council
Astrocent is advised by an International Scientific Board composed of recognised experts in astroparticle physics, detector development and related fields.
The Board:
- advises on the institute’s long-term scientific strategy,
- reviews the progress and quality of research programmes,
- helps align Astrocent’s activities with European and global roadmaps in astroparticle physics,
- supports the institute in building and maintaining strong international partnerships.
