The council is made up of leading figures drawn from the academic, political, diplomatic, military, business and media worlds, who share a knowledge of international relations.

Prof Pacheco Pardo, who is head of the Department of European and International Studies, said: “I am tremendously honoured to have been appointed to the Scientific Council and to have the opportunity to work with a group of truly outstanding people.

“The council’s work is vital in promoting the institute’s open exchange of ideas and furthering knowledge and inquiry and I am looking forward enormously to contributing to the work planned over the coming years.”

The council meets periodically, and members meet regularly with the institute’s researchers and collaborators in working groups organised by specific areas, to provide suggestions and advice on their reports and studies.
