SCOAP3 Partners
SCOAP3 Governing Council Meeting June 2015
SCOAP3 is organized as a partnership with CERN playing the role of the Host Organisation, as it does for the large international collaborations performing experiments at the LHC collider. Currently SCOAP3 comprises over 3,000 libraries and library consortia, universities, research institutions and funding agencies from 44 countries. In addition 3 intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) are partners of SCOAP3: the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR).
Each country arranges its SCOAP3 participation SCOAP3 via one or more organisations called the “Representatives”. These organisations sign a “Memorandum of Understanding”, which is the basis of the SCOAP3 partnership. Representatives often support participating libraries in the country, e.g. collecting the national contributions to SCOAP3 fund, and are the first point of contact for all partner institutions or other interested parties within the country. The Representatives arrange with all institutions in the country the representation in the SCOAP3 Governing Council. Reflecting the diversity within the SCOAP3 partnership, some countries have more than one Representative, while in other cases several institutions have joined directly, and individually, the SCOAP3 partnership, arranging then nationally their representation.
