The Agroecology and Digital Research Program relies on various committees that structure its governance and organization.

The Scientific Council plays a vital advisory role. Its members, appointed for a renewable four-year term based on their respective disciplines and affiliations, provide the program with their insights and expertise in key areas related to agroecology and digital technologies.

In addition to making proposals and suggestions regarding the scientific orientation, actions, and coordination of the program, the members of this council serve on the selection panel for the annual call for projects, which funds thesis and post-doctoral contracts (Pillar 3 of the program). Since the launch of the program, the Scientific Council has already participated in the selection of awardees for the first call for thesis and post-doctoral projects in May 2023.

This first in-person meeting on October 6, 2023, marked an important milestone in the program's progress. During this day, the Scientific Council was able to engage in discussions with the steering committee on two major topics concerning the coordination of the scientific community and the orientation of research. These topics include the annual program days scheduled for January 31 and February 1, 2024, at the Inria Center of the Université de Rennes, and the upcoming call for research and infrastructure projects set to be launched at the end of 2023.
