To continue its strides forward, AREVA has sought the counsel of prominent individuals from the community, creating its own Science and Ethics Commission.

Chaired by François Ewald, this commission is a think tank focused on public perceptions of science and technology, the role of the company in its environment and other important subjects. It also formulates recommendations to the Chairman of the Executive Board.
