The Scientific Advisory Board of the European Forum for International Trade (EFA) plays a central role in fulfilling the association’s purpose. It comprises members of the Executive Board and other experts from research and teaching, independent professional practice, public administration and the judiciary. Individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to promoting the association’s objectives may also be appointed.
The responsibilities of the Scientific Advisory Board of the European Forum for International Trade (EFA) include supporting the association in achieving its public-benefit objectives, establishing specialist committees to examine specific topics in greater depth, and electing a chair from among its members.
New members are appointed by the Executive Board and are not required to pay membership fees. To organise the Advisory Board’s work, the Executive Board may adopt separate rules of procedure. The Scientific Advisory Board is a key body that draws on its members’ expertise to bring together academic and practical perspectives and strengthen the association in its core areas of activity.
