The Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) is responsible for providing the SESAME Council with recommendations on all scientific, technical and policy issues that bear on the full and effective utilization of SESAME as a state-of-the-art synchrotron light facility, and on developments required to maintain the scientific and technical productivity of the Facility at the highest possible level and ensure its relevance to the requirements of the scientific community in the SESAME Members. It is also to foster the scientific mission of SESAME.
The Terms of Reference of the SAC are laid down by the SESAME Council.
The SAC meets as often as needed, but not less than once a year.
