LASERLAB Committee of User Representatives
The newly elected User Representatives met for the first time on 6 July 2009 at Max Born Institute, Berlin, to elect a Chairperson and define the Committee's future actions.
The User Representatives Committee consists of scientists who are frequent Users of the LASERLAB-EUROPE Access facilities and, hence, are familiar with both the scientific needs of the Users and the opportunities provided by the host infrastructures. In their capacity they shall act as interface between the User community and LASERLAB-EUROPE, providing advice to both sides and helping to maintain and improve the relations between them. User Representatives have permanent seats in most Boards of LASERLAB-EUROPE, in particular the Access Board, the Management Board and the General Assembly.
Among the tasks of the User Representatives Committee are the organisation of the regular User meetings and User training schools, and the definition of instruments for their implementation and supervision. The Committee will support the LASERLAB-EUROPE Infrastructures in informing the European User community in all matters of Transnational Access, e.g. through the Newsletter or other dissemination activities.
