- Mission [1]
- The Basic Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (BESAC), established on September 4, 1986, provides valuable, independent advice
to the Department of Energy on the Basic Energy Sciences program regarding the complex scientific and technical issues that
arise in the planning, management, and implementation of the program. BESAC's recommendations include advice on establishing
research and facilities priorities; determining proper program balance among disciplines; and identifying opportunities for
interlaboratory collaboration, program integration, and industrial participation. The Committee primarily includes representatives
of universities, national laboratories, and industries involved in energy-related scientific research. Particular attention
is paid to obtaining a diverse membership with a balance of disciplines, interests, experiences, points of view, and geography.
