Scientific Steering Committee
Print
The Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) is the principal mechanism for making critical decision about the research direction of the iBOL Project. The SSC meets annually to assist and advise project participants, the Scientific Director and the Executive Director in achieving project objectives.
SSC membership reflects two stakeholder constituencies - its participating countries, or Nodes and its Working Groups, with two representatives from each iBOL Node and the chairs and vice-chairs of the 20 iBOL Working Groups.
At its meeting in September 2010, the SSC approved the formation of an executive subcommittee (ESC)to act on its behalf in identifying and initiating action on priorities that arise between annual meetings of the full SSC.
