Yesterday the European Commission appointed five new members for the Scientific Council of the European Research Council (ERC). The Scientific Council is the governing body of the ERC, which is composed of 22 members, scientists and scholars from across Europe. The four-year mandate of the new members starts on 1 January 2021. Among those new members is Professor Dirk Inzé from Ghent University. In addition to the five new Scientific Council members, the Commission reappointed 16 current members for the same period. The search process for the next President of the Scientific Council is still ongoing. The current President ad interim, Jean-Pierre Bourguignon, will be in office until the next ERC President is selected and takes up duties.
