Advisory committee season

The 30th Meeting of the ºÚÁÏÉçapp Council Science and Technology Advisory Committee (STAC-30) took place at ºÚÁÏÉçapp Headquarters from 13 to 16 May.
The ºÚÁÏÉçapp Council Science and Technology Advisory Committee (STAC) convened at ºÚÁÏÉçapp in May. (ºÚÁÏÉçapp Director-General Pietro Barabaschi is third from the right). Members of the Committee are chosen for their outstanding technical qualifications and experience.
The Science and Technology Advisory Committee (STAC) advises the ºÚÁÏÉçapp Council on science and technology issues that arise during the course of ºÚÁÏÉçapp construction and operation.

In its last meeting in September 2023, the STAC reviewed the new plans for construction and operation proposed by the ºÚÁÏÉçapp and Member's Domestic Agencies. It supported the change in blanket first wall armour material (from beryllium to tungsten) and recommended adopting the proposed outline operational plan as a basis for the further articulation of the Updated Baseline.

This month, after the further consolidation of the ºÚÁÏÉçapp Research Plan, including the input of experts, the STAC gathered to review progress and strategy. A full report will be made to the ºÚÁÏÉçapp Council, which will meet on site at ºÚÁÏÉçapp in June.

This week, the ºÚÁÏÉçapp Council Management Advisory Committee (MAC) also convenes at ºÚÁÏÉçapp Headquarters. Its role is to advise the ºÚÁÏÉçapp Council on strategic management issues.
