Research Board

In 1976 the Research Board (RB) took over from the Nuclear Physics Research Committee (NPRC).

The Research Board receives recommendations from all the CERN Experimental Committees, and takes decisions on them. Once approved, the proposals become part of the CERN experimental programme. The Research Board also decides on the accelerator schedules and requests for "Recognized experiments" at CERN.
