Overview

We are delighted to announce that the Expert Advisory Panel for Lloyd’s Register Foundation’s recently launched Global Safety Evidence Centre has been appointed. This panel of independent sector leaders will provide strategic guidance, expert advice and vital stakeholder perspectives to support the Centre in delivering its mission as a trusted creator, collator, and communicator of safety evidence and insight.

The panel’s diverse experience is drawn from government, industry, academia and civil society. They will work closely with the Centre team to ensure a strong balance of expertise is held across the group in support of the Centre’s goals, priorities and research strategies. 

This panel will have an advisory role on all the Centre’s projects, both in-house and delivered by partners, as part of its quality assurance process. Their advice will also form a crucial part of the review process for grants offered by the Centre to fill safety evidence gaps, including the current funding opportunity under which £2 million will be awarded to research applicants from across the world.
