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 2022 the ABC consisted of Ries Simons (Chair), Claudia Stern, Olivier Manen, René Maire, Olga Verba, Roland Vermeiren, Jochen Hinkelbein, and Felix Strollo. During 2022 the board took leave of Trond-Eirik Strand, as chair and Martin Hudson as secretary. The ABC thanks both for their collegial dedication and merits for the Advisory Board.
In 2022 several members of the ABC have been engaged in ESAM Academy activities (ESAM Academy Advanced AME Course, guest lectures in Basic and Advanced AME courses), while Olivier Manen has been busy as chair of the Scientific Committee organising the ICAM 2022. Several ABC members have been active at the ICAM 2022 as session chairs and presenters, while panel sessions on Reduced Crew Operations and on Peer Support Programmes were organised.
The Circle of Experts groups embedded in the Advisory Board and led by ABC members have been actively dealing with scientific questions in Ophthalmology, Space Medicine, Cardiology, Mental Health, Human Factors, and Training. Several ABC members are actively involved in EU-funded projects aimed at providing recommendations to EASA concerning Mental Health, Cardiology, and Diabetes Mellitus. In collaboration with ESAM’s Executive Committee, ABC members have been and are actively engaged in discussions with stakeholders about the aeromedical considerations of reduced crew operations.
In the coming year, the ABC will further promote the expertise potential of the Circle of Experts groups to assist National Authorities and EASA in their scientific issues. Where relevant, collaboration with working groups of ICAO, the Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA), and the International Academy of Aerospace medicine (IAASM) will be sought.

During 2021 the ABC consisted of Trond-Eirik Strand (Chair), Ries Simons (Co-Chair), Martin Hudson (Secretary), Claudia Stern, Olivier Manen, René Maire, Olga Verba, Roland Vermeiren, Jochen Hinkelbein and Felix Strollo.
Due to the covid-19 pandemic the activity has been somewhat lower than usual in ABC. Only two digital meetings have been conducted up-to September 2021. Members of the ABC participated actively in scientific webinars organised by ESAM Academy (Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the aviation community and on aircrew), EASA (two workshops on Pilot Peer Support), and lectured in several basic and advanced courses for AMEs.
Members of ABC have been engaged in ESAM Academy (Claudia, Ries, Roland, Felix). Olivier is involved in planning ICASM 2022 and Martin represented ESAM in ICAO Mental Health Group. The Circle of Experts groups Ophthalmology (chaired by Claudia), Space Medicine (chaired by Jochen), Cardiology (chaired by René), Mental Health (chaired by Ries), and Human Factors (chaired by Ries) have started their activities. The Space Medicine group published in November 2020 (after the last annual report) a paper on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during spaceflight on behalf of the German Society of Aerospace Medicine (DGLRM) and the European Society of Aerospace Medicine Space Medicine Group (ESAM-SMG).
In the coming year, the ABC will further promote the expertise potential of the Circle of Experts groups to assist National Authorities and EASA in their scientific issues. Where relevant, collaboration with working groups of the Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA) and the International Academy of Aerospace medicine (IAASM) will be sought.
