Commission on High Pressure
Terms of reference
The Commission on High Pressure was established at the Seattle General
Assembly in 1996. The following are its Terms of Reference.
To develop and strengthen links and interactions between the
field of high-pressure crystallography and the whole field of high-pressure
science.
To keep the scope of 'high-pressure crystallography' under ongoing
review, and continue to make it as wide and inclusive as possible without
compromising its crystallographic identity.
To promote and encourage the development and dissemination of
best practice in high-pressure crystallographic methods and procedures.
To collect, and make available, current information on central
facilities for high-pressure crystallography, and on how to access
them.
To encourage, and where possible assist, young scientists and
others new to the field of high-pressure crystallography.
To advise the IUCr in organising or sponsoring sessions on high-pressure
crystallography at Congresses and conferences.
To promote and coordinate scientific exchange between countries
in the field of high-pressure crystallography.
To cooperate with other Commissions of the Union on matters dealing
with high-pressure crystallography.
To cooperate with other international bodies interested in high-pressure
crystallography and allied subjects.
