Advisory Board structure consultation

STFC Council agreed in July 2011 to implement a number of changes to the Science Committee structure. A revised Science Board came into operation on 1 August 2011.

Between July and October 2011, STFC consulted on the future structure of Advisory Panels reporting to Science Board. Taking into account the views of the community, and discussions at Science Board and Council, STFC will revise the existing Advisory Panel (AP) structure by forming the following Advisory Panels:

• Particle Physics AP
• Nuclear Physics AP
• Particle Astrophysics AP
• Astronomy AP
• Solar System Science AP
  
  
• Physical Sciences and Engineering AP
• Life Sciences and Soft Materials AP

A call for nominations to these panels has been launched.

Further information about the consultation is available in the report below.
