<i>Scientific Advisory Committee</i> and is pleased that EDP Sciences’ former society shareholders continue to be involved through the Committee. “When we decided to expand our international operations through EDP Sciences, we recognised that protecting the
long-term interests of EDP Sciences and enhancing its future development would be in everyone’s interests,” observed Mr. Lin Peng, President, CSPM. “We are honoured that the SFP, SFC, SFO and SMAI continue to support EDP Sciences and take an active role in
its development.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
