Board of Advisors

Advisory board

The BeneLex Advisory Board provides feedback and expert input into the project methodology and findings, with a view to ensuring that the project responds to the needs of different epistemological communities (lawyers, political scientists, and environmental scientists) and practitioners. Members of the Advisory Board will participate in three workshops, and communicate with the BeneLex team throughout the life of the project by means of remote dialogue.
