Committee on International Scientific Affairs

The membership of the Committee on International Scientific Affairs (CISA) shall consist of nine members. Six members will be appointed by the President-Elect to staggered three-year terms, while the Chair, Past-Chair and the Chair-Elect of the Forum on International Physics (FIP) shall serve as statutory members of CISA. The President-Elect shall appoint the Chairperson of CISA from among the members of the Committee.

CISA will monitor the international science scene and the balance between new APS initiatives and ongoing activities in this arena. Guided by the Objectives of the Society as stated in Article II of the APS Constitution, CISA will encourage APS efforts to strengthen interaction among researchers and institutions in different regions of the world and to further extend worldwide access of physicists to scientific information and its exchange. To this end, CISA will advise and assist the Director of International Scientific Affairs, the Executive Board and Council and provide documentation and recommendations for action, consulting with other relevant committees as appropriate. (APS Bylaws, Article III - Standing Committees.)
