Science & Technology Committee

The Science and Technology committee (STC) has two primary functions: (1) to assess SLAC’s mid-to-long range science and technology program strategy; and (2) to assess progress against that strategy, as well as overall success and impact of SLAC’s science and technology portfolio. In making its assessments and formulating recommendations, the STC considers how well SLAC’s scientific and technology program strategy and performance advances DOE’s mission and leverages shared education and research goals with Stanford.  The STC may also consider the needs of external stakeholders integral to SLAC’s mission, such as user communities, industry, and other agencies.   

The STC also oversees risks, systems, and strategies relating to research integrity, research security,  technology transfer and SLAC’s Strategic Partnership Project (SPP) and Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) portfolios.
