The Scientific Council meets 2 to 3 times a year in order to help the management in the definition of the scientific policy of the laboratory. This body has the dual mission of advising the management on various research projects of the laboratory and helping to define the scientific strategy of the laboratory and the consistency of the associated recruitment policy.

International personalities chosen by the unit director complete the SC, which is then called the Strategic Scientific Council. The Strategic Scientific Council meets once a year to reflect on the major scientific orientations of the laboratory.
