Strategic advisory councils

In addition to the board, the centre has two councils which provide the leadership team with strategic support for scientific development and impact within business, policy and practice

Our ambition is not only to advance transdisciplinary science, but also to shape its development in new directions. Our approach builds on openly sharing and discussing ideas in teams with very diverse knowledge, skills, and disciplinary backgrounds. From this approach come new scientific insights.

We operate as an international convener of science, policy and practice, business and the arts, as well as providing education and executive training. Maintaining and developing this role requires close collaboration with stakeholders who provide important guidance and feedback to our work.

To support this vital role, the centre has established two separate advisory councils that provide strategic advice about our research and interactions with business, policy and practice:

1. The International Scientific Advisory Council (ISAC)

The International Scientific Advisory Council is a body of internationally leading researchers providing strategic advice and guidance on:

  • the scientific development and direction of the centre,
  • the role of the centre in forming internationally impactful research frontiers in sustainability science,
  • the worldwide scientific networks and collaborations of the centre,
  • transdisciplinary research experiments in the science-policy-practice interface performed by SRC

The composition and membership of ISAC is formally decided by the SRC board. Members are committed to a three-year period with possibility for re-election. Members are often engaged in diverse ways in the activities of the SRC. ISAC meets at least once a year.

2. The International Advisory Board (IAB)

The International Advisory Board consists of leaders in business and policy and provides strategic advice on:

  • the centre's efforts to connect knowledge to action towards global sustainability, particularly in business and policy
  • SRC's participation in networks and platforms shaping business and policy worldwide
  • transdisciplinary research experiments in the science-policy-business interface performed by SRC

The composition and membership of IAB is formally decided by the director of SRC. Members are invited based on their expertise, experience, influence and commitment to global sustainability and science. The IAB meets once a year.
