Proposals for new SIGs

Proposals for the formation of special interest groups should be submitted to the ATLAS administration. Proposals can be put forward by full members of the association, but to be formally established as a special interest section they must have the support of at least four full members, and should have a clear set of aims and objectives, as well as an annual work plan. No funding can be provided at this early stage from ATLAS, but subject to approval from the Executive special interest groups may make funding applications using the ATLAS name. All the participating institutions within a special interest group should be ATLAS members.
