ISC-PIF Committees

The ISC-PIF is administered by a Governing Board, headed by a director, himself assisted by a Steering Committee, and advised by a Scientific Board. The complementarity of the scientists involved in these committees is the first achievement of the ISC-PIF - they represent a panel of international eminent scientists who meets the requirement of inter-disciplinary science of complex systems.


Scientific Board

Its mission is to advise the Director and the Steering Committee in their scientific actions. With the kind contribution of international researchers who form the Scientific Council, the scientific policy of the Institute is constantly refocuses on the most relevant and contemporary issues of the community of complex systems.

The members of the Scientific Council are:

President : Sheung Tsun Tsou - Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, UK

  • Jacques Demongeot - Director of the TIMC-IMAG laboratory, Université de Grenoble, France
  • Mirta Gordon - TIMC-IMAG laboratory, Université de Grenoble, France
  • Peter Grassberger - John von Neumann Institute for Computing Forschungszentrum, Complex systems research group, Germany
  • Jürgen Jost - Director of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences, Leipzig, Germany
  • Frank Jülicher - Director of the Biophysics department, Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden, Germany
  • Etienne Pardoux - Université de Provence, France
  • Gene Stanley - Boston University, USA
  • Mina Teicher - Bar-Ilan University, Israel
  • Sander van der Leeuw - Director of the department of anthropology, Arizona State University, USA
  • Eric Wieschaus - Department of molecular biology, Princeton University, USA


Steering Committee

The Director of the GIS (Rene Doursat to date) is appointed by the Governing Board. He is assisted by two co-directors (Arnaud Banos and David Chavalarias) and the Steering Committee whose members are appointed by the Governing Board on recommendation from the Director.

Governing Board

The Governing board is composed of representatives of each partner.

Role of the Governing Board: The Board appoints and dismisses the director of GIS, appoints members of the Steering Committee upon proposal of the Director of GIS, appoints members of the Scientific Board on the proposal of Director of GIS, and adopts the activity program of the GIS on the proposal of Director of GIS; vote the estimates of revenue and expenditure of GIS which includes, first, the likely costs and other related resources detailed by funding agency; adopt the financial report and annual scientific activity prepared by the Director of GIS, resolves the amendments to this Convention, the latter being detected by riders, resolves the entry of a new partner within the GIS ; provides procedures for evaluating the results of the activities of the ISG, before any decision on its possible extension.
