An international group of Scientific Discipline Representatives (SDRs) provides advice to SCOSTEP about scientific programs and serves as links between national and regional activities in their fields and SCOSTEP international scientific programs. They lead within SCOSTEP and through other ISC bodies to propose new programs and participate in the Steering Committees and projects of ongoing programs.
SDRs are selected in such a way that their collective expertise will cover the range of sub-disciplines in solar-terrestrial physics, with as much provision for adequate geographic distribution as is possible.
SDRs are eligible to participate in the nomination and election for the President and Vice President.
The Bylaws for the SDRs are defined by the Bureau and are available at this link.
