CERN Scientific Committees
The Scientific Committees receive proposals for experiments at CERN. The requests are submitted once they are sufficiently advanced and after an assessment has been made of the financial implications, the time required on the machines and the needs of equipment and staff.
The committees’ proposals and recommendations are submitted to the Research Board for final decision concerning the CERN experimental programme.
