Scientific council
The Scientific Committee advises Bruegel and its Board on future research needs and provides feedback and evaluation on research ex post. It consists of 8 individuals recognised internationally in the academic world.
History
The idea to set up a new, independent European think tank devoted to international economics stemmed from private discussions involving policy-makers, business leaders and other individuals from several European countries in late 2002. The idea was endorsed and officially floated by France and Germany in their joint declaration in Paris on January 22nd, 2003. 
Mario Monti was Bruegel's first chairman from 2005 to 2008. After his mandate he was appointed honorary president in recognition of his great contribution and support to Bruegel.
Board
The Board decides on strategy and adopts the research programme and budget. The Board does not bear responsibility for research results ‚ this remains with individual researchers, under the overall editorial oversight of Director Jean Pisani-Ferry.
The Board, chaired by Leszek Balcerowicz, consists of 11 members, all with distinguished backgrounds in government, business, civil society, academia and media.
Members
Bruegel draws its unique nature from a balanced partnership between private and public stakeholders. Its member base is currently composed of EU member states, international corporations and international institutions.
