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:
“Culture is the name for what people are interested in, their thoughts, their models, the books they read and the speeches they hear, their table-talk, gossip, controversies, historical sense and scientific training, the values they appreciate, the quality of life they admire. All communities have a culture. It is the climate of their civilization.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“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)
