One of the changes made possible by the new Constitution, adopted in Rome in July 2003 and finally approved in Prague 2007, was the creation of the Scientific Committee. This committee has to assist the Board in performing its tasks, as defined in article 16.2 of the new Constitution. The main tasks of the Committee are:
- to explore scientific and technological developments in the domains of activity of the Federation;
- to make proposals to the Board;
- and setting up a programme for the General Conference together with the IPRS coordinator.
From July 2015, till the next Congress in 2017, the composition of this Committee is the following. In his capacity as chairman of the scientific committee, dr. Carlo Eugeni is also a member of the Board.
