Watchdogs of the European System. Wilsdon, J. 348(6238):947. Paper doi abstract bibtex Henry Kissinger, as U.S Secretary of State, is famously said to have asked: ” If I want to call Europe, who do I call?” Until recently, the scientific community thought it had an answer to this question: the chief scientific adviser (CSA) to the president of the European Commission (EC). Two weeks ago, that changed. [Excerpt] President Juncker insisted that he was still committed to scientific advice and asked Carlos Moedas, the Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, to lead a review of how it could be better organized. Two weeks ago, the findings were unveiled. As expected, the CSA remains dead and buried and will be replaced by a seven-strong ” high-level group” of experts, who will be appointed before the end of the year. These experts, described by a senior official as ” watchdogs of the system,”* will be fully independent but supported by a team of around 25 staff from the EC's research directorate. Further resources of ” up to €6 million” will be offered to Europe's national academies to enable them to play a greater role in the provision of advice. Good working links will also be developed to the EC's in-house science service, the Joint Research Centre. [...]
