Advisory committees
The IUCr’s Advisory Committees provide specialist advice to the Executive Committee on areas of strategic or organisational importance. They bring together members of the crystallographic community and other experts to examine particular issues, develop recommendations and support the Union’s work.
Advisory Committees do not make governing decisions on behalf of the IUCr. Their recommendations are considered by the Executive Committee, which remains responsible for any resulting decisions and actions.
The following Committees are active:
- Makes recommendations to the Executive Committee for financial support of meetings.
- Provides a coordinating and advisory role regarding data.
- Maintains the integrity of the Crystallographic Information Framework (CIF) on behalf of the IUCr.
- Recommends new book publications to the IUCr Executive Committee and the Delegates of Oxford University Press.

- Establishes new practices and policies to overcome inequity in the IUCr's processes.
