A science-based approach
Over the years, the work of RSF has been supported by a multi-disciplinary Scientific Committee composed of leading researchers, scientists and experts in as many disciplines. It has played a key role in validating the scientific model of the foundation. It has identifies pilot experiences and knowledge gaps, in order to bridge the distance between vision and implementation. It has also supported the foundation’s work by monitoring literature and experiences worldwide to address most urgent research needs.
The Committee has been chaired by Prof. Paolo Vineis, Chair of Environmental Epidemiology at Imperial College (London), at which he is ranked as one of the top 10 most cited professors with nearly 140,000 citations. Prof. Vineis leads the Molecular Signatures and Disease Pathways Theme of the MRC Centre for Environment and Health at Imperial College. Visiting Professor at the Italian Institute of Technology (Genoa), he was also a member of the High Council of Health (advising the Health Minister) in Italy.
Among RSF’s most valuable assets are its founders (member companies and organizations), which contribute with their knowledge and know-how and participate in the Foundation’s governance.
The Foundation’s co-chairs are Andrea Illy (Chairman, illycaffè & Co-founder, Fondazione Ernesto Illy) and Jeffrey D. Sachs (President, SDSN).
Its governing bodies also include Giancarlo Fonseca (Lombard Odier Investment Managers) as Executive Vice President, a Board of Directors and a Board of Founders.
