ICOH Scientific Committees

ICOH has 35 Scientific Committees and one Network.

Famous quotes containing the words scientific and/or committees:

    “For, the advantages which fashion values, are plants which thrive in very confined localities, in a few streets, namely. Out of this precinct, they go for nothing; are of no use in the farm, in the forest, in the market, in war, in the nuptial society, in the literary or scientific circle, at sea, in friendship, in the heaven of thought or virtue.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Cry cry what shall I cry?
    The first thing to do is to form the committees:
    The consultative councils, the standing committees, select committees and sub-committees.
    One secretary will do for several committees.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
