Synchro-Cyclotron Commitee (SCC) was set up with Volker Soergel as its Chairperson in 1976.

At the end of the Bubble Chambers period John Adams (Executive Director-General) and Leon Van Hove (Director-General for Research) rationalized the system, abolishing the committee system based on experimental techniques, and basing it instead on the machine. The Physics III Committee (PH-III-COM) was renamed the Synchro-Cyclotron Committee. The SCC examined all experimental proposals for the SC and made recommendations to the Research Board, which replaced the NPRC in 1976.

In 1978 SCC and Proton Synchrotron Committee (PSC) fused into the PS & SC Committee (PSCC) to advise on research at both machines (PS & SC).
