ESAM’s Scientific Advisory Board Committee (ABC) was founded in 2007 and is tasked to provide scientific advice on aerospace medical questions to the Executive Committee. It is an independent body within ESAM. During 2023 the ABC consisted of Ries Simons (Chair), Claudia Stern, Olivier Manen, René Maire, Olga Verba, Roland Vermeiren, Jochen Hinkelbein, and Felix Strollo, while Marja Osinga was assigned as new member to provide her medical expertise in the area of General Aviation.
During 2024 the board took leave of René Maire. The ABC thanks him for his knowledge, collegial dedication, and the merits that he brought for many years for the Advisory Board. The Board is happy that Norbert Guettler has been willing to replace René and to guarantee the contribution of high-quality cardiological expertise. Because of the recently emerging awareness of the importance of mental health for flight safety, psychiatrist Diederik de Rooy has been assigned to strengthen the ABC team. He has already been active in the aviation community for many years and he was one of the researchers in the MESAFE project.
