STOA is eager to cooperate and exchange with stakeholders and partners within the Parliament, the global parliamentary community and beyond. To this end, on 10 July 2020, the STOA Panel decided to appoint an International Advisory Board (INAB) for the remainder of the 9th parliamentary term.
At its meeting of 15 October 2020, the STOA Panel agreed a list of individuals to invite to join INAB, including world-renowned personalities from academia, international organisations, the private sector, civil society and think tanks. It will focus in particular upon STOA activities in the area of artificial intelligence (AI), including its Centre for AI.
The Board has now been established, and will be convened virtually for the first time on 5 February 2021. This meeting will serve to introduce the Board to the STOA Panel and set out its future activities and priorities.
