Scientific Council and Evaluation
Bruegel's scientific council advises it and its board on future research needs and provides ex post feedback and evaluation on Bruegel's research. It consists of eight individuals recognised internationally in the academic world. Its current members are Giuseppe Bertola (Chair), Sergei Guriev, Peter Neary, Lucrezia Reichlin, Dani Rodrik, Paul Seabright, Jaume Ventura, and Luigi Zingales.
A review of the impact and relevance of Bruegel's activities covering the period 2007-09 was released in 2010 by an independent review task force chaired by Ieke van den Burg.

Famous quotes containing the words scientific, council and/or evaluation:
“To develop an empiricist account of science is to depict it as involving a search for truth only about the empirical world, about what is actual and observable.... It must involve throughout a resolute rejection of the demand for an explanation of the regularities in the observable course of nature, by means of truths concerning a reality beyond what is actual and observable, as a demand which plays no role in the scientific enterprise.”
—Bas Van Fraassen (b. 1941)
“There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Evaluation is creation: hear it, you creators! Evaluating is itself the most valuable treasure of all that we value. It is only through evaluation that value exists: and without evaluation the nut of existence would be hollow. Hear it, you creators!”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
