The Scientific Council is the Elcano Royal Institute’s consultative body, which advises its Director and researchers with the aim of ensuring the effective fulfilment of its founding goals, especially those related to research, the dissemination of the work carried out and the institution’s external relationships. It comprises outstanding Spanish and foreign figures drawn from the academic, political, diplomatic, business and media worlds, who share a recognised knowledge of international relations.
The Council meets periodically, at least once a year, although its members meet regularly with the Institute’s researchers and collaborators in working groups organised by specific areas, to draw up the reports and studies they deem appropriate.
