Our Scientific Advisory Board
Since 2013, ITAB, the qualified Agricultural and Agro-industrial Technical Institute, has had a Scientific Council (CS ITAB), whose mission is to support ITAB in its scientific and technical strategy.

This ITAB Scientific Advisory Board provides both (I) support in defining the direction of the research and development program, as well as working methods, and (II) insight into the forward-looking issues facing the Institute. The Scientific Advisory Board's scope of action includes the part implemented by ABioDoc. For the past 10 years, the Scientific Advisory Board has ensured that the work carried out with ITAB Lab members is taken into account.
In addition to the program steering team (employees), the Institute's president and a designated administrator participate in the Scientific Council's working sessions in order to facilitate communication and decision-making processes within the Board of Directors.
The Scientific Council of ITAB is chaired by Marc Tchamitchian, INRAE.
