Scientific Committee

Until 2013, the Committee was elected internally. Since 2014, the 28 members of the Committee have been elected by the members of the Network at the bi-annual PCST Conference.

The term of election is four years, with half the members of the Committee stepping down at each conference.

Of the 28 members of the Committee:

• eight members are elected from those normally resident in the Americas and Africa
• eight are elected from those normally resident in Europe
• eight are elected from those normally resident in Asia, Australasia and all other areas of the world; and
• four are elected from any geographical area but who are under the age of thirty-five on the date of the election.

Only members of the Network are eligible to stand for election and vote in the election.
