Terms of reference

The Advisory Panel is tasked to:

• Maintain an overview of activities within the area
   
• Develop and maintain a science vision and long term strategy / roadmap by assessing the merit of current and future science opportunities
   
• Develop and maintain a technology roadmap for their area of research
   
• Consult and interact with the community to ensure its views are canvassed and there is an appropriate and effective route for communication with STFC on strategic programmatic issues
   
• Provide advice to Science Board on specific questions as requested
   
• Liaise with other Advisory Panels when appropriate
   
• The Advisory Panel is required to report on these activities to Science Board on a regular basis using the process set out below. The science strategy developed by the Advisory Panel will be used by Science Board as input to ongoing strategy development and in future Programmatic Reviews
   
• The Advisory Panel should consist of a chair and deputy and up to twelve other members. The final panel size should be dependent upon the size of the community and the need to ensure that the panel membership fully reflects the breadth of the community.
