Independent Science Board
As part of its commitment to ensuring independent research, an Independent Science Board (ISB) has been formed to oversee all ReFINE research. This board, comprised of impartial scientific experts from across Europe and the United States, will direct and oversee all research.
It is the responsibility of the ISB to ensure that research is accurate, relevant to the public interest, and free from any industry bias. Members of the ISB will not be directly involved in research, but will meet several times each year to review any material published by the workgroups, determine the focus of future research, and to advise on any ethical issues.
