The aim of the Scientific Committee is to promote the ICP Forests activities in order to make ICP Forests results and data more known and used. We are active in promoting scientific initiatives such as joint presentations and publications of the ICP Forests community and in networking activities. The Scientific Committee aims to work toward greater visibility and to strategically improve the use of the ICP Forests data. The Scientific Committee organises together with the PCC of ICP Forests and the local host of the annual Scientific Conference.

The Scientific Committee consists of Bruno de Vos, Liisa Ukonmaanaho, Stefan Fleck, Kai Schwärzel, Anne-Katrin Prescher, Marco Ferretti, Lars Vesterdal, Marcus Schaub and Vit Sramek.
