On the morning of Friday, May 20, 2022, His Majesty King Felipe VI of Spain chaired the meeting of the Scientific Council of the Elcano Royal Institute for International and Strategic Studies held at the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Idelfonso in Segovia, Spain.

The Scientific Council is the advisory body of the Elcano Royal Institute, which advises the directors and researchers of the Institute with the aim of ensuring compliance with its founding principles, especially those related to research, the dissemination of the work carried out and the institution’s external relations.

The Scientific Council meets once a year, although its members meet regularly in working groups organized by specific areas, to prepare reports and studies as deemed appropriate. The Scientific Council is also responsible for the preparation of reports and studies.
