International Advisory Board (IAB)

The PathOS International Advisory Board will support and advise the project’s team by providing guidance and alignment. This will be performed through recommendations and feedback on intermediate and final results in critical stages of the project implementation. It will guarantee the reflection of the state-of-art knowledge and practices in the project activities, and it will help the project team in the stocktaking exercise, by pointing out any relevant sources of information and practices.
