Scientific Advisory Committee

Since January 2000, a Scientific Advisory Committee, has been established with the aim to advise both the publishers and the Editors-in-Chief of the respective sections of The European Physical Journal about editorial policy matters and aims & scope. The overall purpose is to offer the physics community - in Europe and throughout the world - a unified and high-quality forum to further development of international collaborations and the world-wide dissemination of physical sciences.

Recently, the publishers have also invited other researcher networks of European significance to offer their expertise to suitably advise for the same purpose.

The Scientific Advisory Committee meets once a year and is chaired by one of the representatives. Currently they are: Chairperson 2023: Michel Calame; Past Chairperson: Roberta Caruso; Chairperson Elect: Zsolt Fülöp
