Steering Committee
The EPICA Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) was formally established in October 1995. It was formed of national representatives (one per country), representatives of the two Logistic Operation Centres, the leaders of the Working Groups (Science Working Group, Finance Panel, Drilling Working Group), and the representatives of ESF and EU. The SSC was chaired by H Miller (2000-2006) and J Jouzel (1995-2000) and generally met once a year. An Executive Committee (ExCom), comprising the EPICA chair and Vice-chair, heads of the two Operation Centres and the leaders of the Working Groups, met as necessary between Steering Committee meetings.
