Série CERN-SPC-1 to CERN-SPC-ongoing - Scientific Policy Committee

1,414 Items (ongoing)

In accordance with the CERN Convention (1953), the CERN Council established a Scientific Policy Committee which held its first meeting on 3rd December 1954. The terms of reference of the Scientific Policy Committee are:

• to make recommendations to the Council on the priorities of research programmes and the allocation of research effort both within the Laboratories of the Organization and extramurally;
• to examine and make recommendations to the Council on the allocation of resources to the various scientific activities of the Organization;
• to advise the Council from the point of view of scientific policy on the management and staffing of the organization, including the visitors program and the nomination of senior staff;
• to advise the Council on any other matters which affect the scientific activities of the Organization.
• In contrast to the Finance Committee and the Council, the members of the Scientific Policy Committee do not represent their respective countries. They are nominated in their personal capacities and are required to judge issues strictly from the scientific point of view.

The original order has been preserved. The items in this collection were created for and from the meetings of the Scientific Committee. The usual documents are lists of participants, agendas, minutes, progress reports and drafts of all these documents.

Nothing was destroyed.

The collection is still open and accruals are received regularly, soon after they are produced.

Items are first arranged by language (English, French and German) and then numerical and chronological order.

See file level description and the CERN operational circular No 3: rules applicable to archival material and archiving at CERN. In general, records on any subject that are over 30 years old, and all records of a purely scientific nature, may be consulted.
