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.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Explanation:
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
