Since February 2021, CRS4 has an Advisory Board with high technical and scientific profile that will provide assistance, support and advice to management.
The board is currently made up of eight internationally renowned experts who will evaluate the scope of ongoing activities and suggest new development paths, fostering contacts and future collaborations.
