The EURO-VO Science Advisory Committee (SAC) is composed of leading European
researchers outside mainstream VO projects.
It also includes at least one representative from a non-European VO project.
The selection of the EURO-VO SAC is done by the EURO-VO Executive Board
based on input from the EURO-VO Facility Centre (FC), Data Centre Alliance (DCA), Technology Centre (TC), and ESA VO Scientists.
Members are invited to actively participate in the meetings of the EURO-VO SAC, which will happen approximately twice a year.
The participation in the meetings is financially supported by the EURO-VO Project.
The EURO-VO SAC Chair is selected by the EURO-VO Executive Board.
The EURO-VO FC Scientist acts as EURO-VO SAC Secretary.
The EURO-VO DCA, TC, and ESA VO Scientists are also "de facto" members of the EURO-VO SAC.
The EURO-VO SAC advises the EURO-VO Project in the following areas:
-
High-level science requirements for the EURO-VO
-
Promotion of VO science in Europe;
-
VO tools and their astronomical applications;
-
Existing European astronomical archives with suggestions for improvements
-
EURO-VO Science Operation concepts;
-
Progress review of EURO-VO.
