Updated Meeting Schedule (NEW 9 July 2021)
The Fifth Meeting of the Sessional Committee of the Scientific Council (ScC-SC5) will be held from 28 June to 9 July 2021 as an online virtual meeting. There will be online plenaries, followed by a period of working on documents, culminating in closing plenaries to agree all texts.

The meeting is open to all members of the Sessional Committee, other members of the CMS Scientific Council not members of the Sessional Committee, as well as representatives of CMS Parties, CMS Agreements and CMS partner organizations and institutions.
