Organization, Program Committee and Conveners

The organizational structure for CHEP consists of a Program Committee (PC) that oversees the program content, an International Advisory Committee (IAC), which sets the overall themes of the conference, and a Local Organizing Committee (LOC) that is responsible for local arrangements (lodging, transportation, social events, etc.) and conference logistics (registration, program scheduling, conference site selection, conference proceedings, etc.).

Local Organizing Committee

  • Bartłomiej Rachwał (AGH)

Technical and logistic support

  • Anna Inglot
  • Maciej Giza (IFJ)
  • Sabin Hashmi (AGH)
  • Wojciech Gomółka (AGH)

Program Committee Co-Chairs

The role of the Program Committee chairs:

  • Determine the scientific structure of the parallel sessions taking high-level guidance from the IAC and conference chairs. Work with the IAC and conference chairs on the total conference structure including plenary sessions and speakers.
  • Propose additional members of the PC to help in abstract selection and parallel session formation and organization.
  • Organize the review and selection of abstracts, ensuring, as far as possible, a common set of quality and relevance standards.
    Propose a track structure for the selected talks and a session organization for selected posters.
  • Appoint track conveners, where possible from the existing PC membership.
  • Oversee the submission of papers; appoint referees; oversee the use of the IOP system by track conveners, encouraging the submission of amended papers where necessary, and the timely completion of the peer review process.
