well placed to bring the various stakeholders together

The SandS shall make recommendations on potential projects and activities that would serve the above
mentioned objectives
The proposed projects shall be detailed into precise tasks, means of execution (workshops, seminars, and study
groups), and means of publication, scheduling and participants.
In defining and implementing such activities, the SandS shall seek active consultation and participation of other
IAF committees and on-going activities, in particular related to Education, Young Professionals, the IAF
website and Congresses and Symposia.
In view of its objectives, the SandS shall consist of members representative of the various stakeholders, with an
emphasis on the IAF member societies.
