Call for nominations: Scientific Committee Urban Health and Wellbeing

ICSU calls for nominations for the Scientific Committee of its new programme on Urban Health and Wellbeing. The template has been sent to International Scientific Unions, National Members, Associate Members and Interdisciplinary Bodies. ICSU ROAP encourages ICSU members in the Asia Pacific region to send in their nominations.

Following the decision of the 30th General Assembly (Rome, September 2011), ICSU invites submission of nominations for experts to serve on the Scientific Committee for the new ten-year international programme on Health and Wellbeing in the Changing Urban Environment: a systems analysis approach.

The published science plan for this programme is available at Health and Wellbeing in the Changing Urban Environment . The Scientific Committee will be made up of leading experts from a range of disciplines including natural, social, behavioural and health sciences, as well as in urban planning and engineering. Expertise in systems analysis and multi-factorial modelling will be advantageous and experience and willingness to work with aninterdisciplinary group will be essential. As for all ICSU committees, gender and geographic balance will also be taken into account.

The committee will meet twice a year for 2-3 days, mainly in Paris and there will be some work between meetings. Initial appointments will be for 3-years starting in mid 2012. The success of this new programme depends very much on the quality and commitment of the Scientific Committee. The final decision on the committee membership will be made by the Executive Board in April, 2012, following advice from the Committee on Scientific Planning and Review.

Please note that the deadline for nominations is 24 February 2012. For further information please contact  rohini@icsu.org
