The most important function of this committee is to solicit suggestions for the scientific program, in the form of recommendations for plenary and parallel session topics and speakers. In addition to its instrumental role in gathering input for the scientific program of the meeting, this committee serves as well to inform us of possible visa problems that might interfere with timely travel of participants from your country, and to inquire about possible sources of travel funds for them.
