The Scientific Council has 19 evaluation panels with a total of around 250 researchers as members who assess and prioritise research applications. Observers from the Council are included and supervise evaluation work. It is the Scientific Council which appoints members of the evaluation panels.
In addition, there are working groups for various purposes, and the Scientific Council regularly brings in specialist advisers and experts (national and international) for various tasks, for example evaluations of research supported by the Council.
