Portuguese to English Science Science (general) Scientific Research
There are four governing bodies:

'Diretor (A), Conselho Diretivo (B), Conselho Científico (C), Mesa do Conselho Científico (D), e Comissão de Acompanhamento Científico (E).'

I'm not sure about the difference between Conselho Científico and Mesa do Conselho Científico.

Presiding Members of the Scientific Council

Just to give another opinion, since I believe "board" and "council" are interchangeable terms.

More specifically, "mesa" is a reference to the presiding members of a board or council. The "mesa" may be a chairperson and a secretary, or perhaps an chairperson, assistant chair, and secretary.

Therefore, I would necessarily include "presiding + members/officers/directors." Whether you then call 'conselho' a council or a board is your personal preference, though I prefer "board" for bodies of seven people or less.

So the following are also alternatives:

Presiding Members of the Scientific Board
Presiding Officers of the Scientific Board
Presiding Officers of the Scientific Council
