Expert Committee Memberships

In our efforts of taking science to impact, we also aim to inform relevant health policy. Many of our employees are members of panels, committees and boards, providing expert advice on a wide range of topics. For example, we advise Swiss federal commissions and international organisations such as the WHO on evidence-based health policy.
