Science Advisory Group

The role

The INSITE Science Advisory Group (SAG) is an independent panel of experts appointed to guide the scientific integrity, quality, and impact of the INSITE Research Programme. Drawing on deep expertise in marine ecology, offshore structures, and environmental science, SAG members provide objective advice on research proposals, monitor progress, and ensure that the programme remains scientifically robust, policy-relevant, and aligned with stakeholder needs. Their collaborative input helps shape the direction of research into offshore decommissioning and its ecological implications.
