Scientific Council of the European Research Council announced

The European Commission has announced the list of the 22 members of the
scientific Council of the European Research Council (ERC) on July 18,
2005. The 22 scientists were chosen by an independant panel of high-level
scientists, chaired by Lord Patten of Barnes, Chancellor of Oxford and
Newcastle-upon-Tyne Universities.

Following the European Commission's FP 7 proposal of April 6, 2005, the
ERC will be a funding organisation for frontier research. The Scientific
Council will be an independant body that will determine the ERC's
scientific strategy and ensure that its operations are conducted according
to the requirements of scientific excellence.
