The Scientific and Ethical Advisory Board (SEAB) is a consultative body which is formed to ensure and improve the scientific performance and the quality of results of EPC-TM-Net. The members of the SEAB will be invited to the annual GA meetings in order to monitor the progress of work, to assess the scientific quality and to give feed-back to the Consortium members, but without a right to vote. The SEAB will also consider and mention any ethical issues which might require (stronger) attention in their feed-back.
