The European Science Advisory Council (ESAC) is an independent body that provides scientific advice to the European Commission. Established to enhance the role of science in policymaking, ESAC aims to ensure that decisions are informed by the best available evidence. ESAC brings together experts from various fields to assess scientific knowledge and its implications for policy. By fostering collaboration between scientists and policymakers, the council seeks to address pressing challenges such as climate change, public health, and technological innovation, ultimately supporting the European Union's goals for sustainable development.
