Subcommittees meeting

Subcommittee (review) panels meet twice a year, in Spring and Autumn, to assess the scientific merits of applications and recommend beamtime allocation. The decision is solely based on the information given in the proposals and, if applicable, on experimental reports and publications related to previous experiments. Proposals are ranked on a scale from 10 (highlight) to 1 (unsatisfactory). 

The panel members must declare all conflicts of interest and are expected to leave the room during discussion of proposals from their own departments or proposals with which they are associated.
