Scientific Information Policy Board (SIPB)

SIPB Meeting

The Scientific Information Policy Board (SIPB) is an inter-departmental body reporting to the Director for Research and Computing. It deals with any matters related to policies, strategies, and technology services related to the management of scientific information for the high-energy physics community.

The SIPB was established in 1990, and the mandate was updated in December 2022.

SIPB meetings

The SIPB typically meets two to three times per year upon invitation of its chair. Meeting details and minutes have been available online since 1995 to the CERN community (login required).
