GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:équipe scientifique
English translation:panel/team of experts; curatorial team (museums & galleries)

French to English translations [Non-PRO]
Art/Literary - Anthropology / exhibition of artefacts
French term or phrase: équipe scientifique
This is a very common phrase, referring to the experts in charge of organising (in this case) an exhibition. I wondered what the usual English phrase might be in this context. Here it refers to the curator and two eminent anthropologists as advisory experts.
Thanks in advance!

curatorial team
Explanation:
According to the curatorial team: “This exhibit will be of great interest not only to professional
anthropologists but other publics as well. By drawing the studied methodologies of ethnography
into a familiar art environment this collective exhibition delivers an all too uncommon challenge to
disciplinary and professional boundaries.

I would use 'curatorial panel' where a competition or award was the context.

This groundbreaking permanent exhibition, developed by a core curatorial team composed of Southwest Indian peoples and museum professionals, incorporates the voices of more than 75 Native Americans. Here, Now & Always tells the rich, complex and diverse stories of Native Americans in the Southwest through their own words and some 1,300 objects drawn from the Museum's collections.

'scientists' / 'scientific' is far too vague. I would argue US/UK usage requires the translation to be more specific.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you Helen, you perfectly understood why I posted the question. I'm not entirely sure what the context is, but I think something like "curatorial panel" would do the trick nicely. There is clearly only one curator, two advisory experts.
