In order to exercise scientific overview and steering for its Research Centers the management of The Cyprus Institute relies on the expert advice of Scientific Expert Panels (SEP), one of which is established for each center. They provide independent scientific advice of the highest possible standard on scientific and policy issues related to the development of the Research Center. They also enable the President and the Vice President of Research to exercise scientific oversight and carry out evaluations of the scientific activities of each of the Centers and their research units, in terms of quality, relevance and synergy with other activities or units.
In particular, the SEPs:
- make recommendations on issues related to the research scope and thrusts and to the future development of the Center;
- evaluate ongoing and planned programmes and projects, as well as personnel for the leading scientific positions, as requested by the scientific management of The Cyprus Institute;
- facilitate scientific partnerships and collaborations and generally promotes useful contacts for the Center;
- review the Centers’ progress and achievements on a regular basis, report their assessments and make associated recommendations to the CyI President;
- support and, in certain cases, lead the recruitment of the senior academic, research and administrative leadership of the corresponding Center.
