The Scientific Council is the advisory body of the Elcano Royal Institute, which advises the directors and researchers of the Institute in order to guarantee the effective fulfillment of its foundational purposes, especially those related to research, the dissemination of the work carried out, and the institution’s external relations. It is composed of distinguished Spanish and foreign personalities, from the academic, political, diplomatic, business and media fields, who have in common a proven 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 organized by specific areas, to prepare the reports and studies they deem appropriate.
The Elcano Royal Institute remembers with gratitude and affection Xavier Batalla, Juan Antonio Carrillo Salcedo, Milagros Hernando, Ramón Armengod López de Roa, Francisco Pérez Muinelo and Francisco Rubio Llorente, who with their generosity and experience contributed decisively as members of the Scientific Council to the strengthening of our institution.
