Scientific Council for Biosciences, Health and the Environment
The Scientific Council for Biosciences, Health and the Environment represents a wide spectrum of research fields within its remit and grants funding to research and researchers in these fields. The research fields most often represent basic research, creating a fundamental basis for fields closer to applied research as well. The research funded by the Scientific Council is often interdisciplinary.
The Scientific Council monitors the impact and effectiveness of the research it has funded each year by analysing research reports and examining its various funding schemes and research fields. In addition, it regularly arranges meetings with the researchers it has funded.
