Scientific Support Teams

PEP’s Scientific Support Teams are made up of experts specializing in the four main PEP methodologies (the PEP Toolbox).

Members of the Scientific Support Teams are actively engaged in delivering PEP activities within their area of research. Many ensure the scientific quality of PEP research projects and publications by providing technical training and mentorship to PEP-supported research teams. Other activities include defining priority research questions, developing new research projects, evaluating research proposals.

Each team is led by a Research Director.
