The Federation Science Council is a group of officials of the United Federation of Planets that advise the Federation Council on matters pertaining to Federation security, in regards to scientific aspects.
By 2370, Hekaran scientists Serova and Rabal had repeatedly explained to the Federation Science Council that warp drive was damaging subspace, specifically in and near the Hekaras Corridor, near their homeworld. The Council, knowing how much warp drive meant to Starfleet and Federation security, didn't believe their theory had enough evidence, and dismissed them.
However, in 2370, when Serova committed suicide to open a subspace rupture with her shuttle's warp core, she proved her theory was true. To avoid this from happening, not merely the Science council, but the Federation Council itself implemented a Warp 5 "speed limit" throughout area's prone to these fractures, until a way to stop it could be developed. (TNG: "Force of Nature")
- Presumably, the Science council is a sub-council made up of Federation Councilors, similar to Senate subcommittees.
