Invitation for New Members

The Senior Scientists' Forum (SSF), formerly known as the Research Leaders Forum, was inaugurated in June 2001, with the main objectives of encouraging and strengthening cooperation in Science and Technology (S & T) among scientists in Sri Lanka and involving scientists and technologists in the formulation of S & T related policies and evidence-based decision-making. At the time of its inception, there were around 220 members in the forum, which was governed by a Steering Committee (SC) led by the Chairperson. The SSF was active until 2010 and had previously carried out many S & T-related activities. Since then, it has not been active for a decade.

The SSF was re-launched in 2021 by the National Science and Technology Commission (NASTEC) as part of one of the Commission's consultative fora activities.
