Science Committee

The Science Committee (SC) is tasked with managing the scientific direction of the Centre, including performing annual reviews of each of the research platforms and managing the Exciton Science Research Fund. The purpose of the fund is to increase cross-node collaboration to support new projects, which will instrumentally develop and further the research objectives of the Centre. The SC is comprised of the eight Research Platform Leaders. This committee reports regularly to the Executive Committee on the progress of the Centre’s scientific goals and achievements.
