Each Committee consists of a maximum of 19 members.

The deadline for applications is 2 November 2015.

Scientists may apply for membership in one or more of the following committees:

• Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS)

Successful applicants are expected to be well-established scientists with more than 10 years of professional experience and multi-disciplinary accomplishments. Members are appointed to the Scientific Committees for a term of five years.
