Guidance Structure

EMBL-EBI has an established guidance structure, in the form of a Bioinformatics Advisory Committee (BAC). The Committee gives advice to the institute with regard to scientific strategy, future directions and proposals on the realisation of its programme.

The Committee is composed of distinguished scientists appointed in their own right, not as representatives of Member States. Membership of the Committee is drawn from experts in the field of bioinformatics and other relevant scientific disciplines. Some are also members of EMBL'S scientific advisory committee and data resources advisory boards.
