New SISB members - 2011 appointments
The Science & Innovation Strategy Board (SISB) is Council's main source of advice on science and innovation matters. It is responsible, amongst other things, for developing NERC's integrated science strategy, advising on the balance of the science portfolio and advising on the strategic priority of funding new programmes and initiatives.
Five new SISB members have been appointed in place of those who have recently retired. In taking these non-executive appointments, the new members will participate as individuals rather than as representatives of their affiliate organisations.
New appointments from October 2011:
Dr Adrian Baker - Defence Science & Technology Laboratory (Dstl), Wiltshire.
Professor Stephen Belcher - Department of Meteorology, University of Reading.
Dr Andy Brown - Met Office, Exeter.
Professor Graham Underwood - Department of Biological Sciences, University of Essex.
Professor Ian Wright - National Oceanography Centre, Southampton.
