Our work
CIGRE's technical work is carried out by 16 Study
Committees whose task is to initiate and coordinate studies
contributing to technical advance in their particular area. Each
Study Committee organises its activities via Working Groups and
Task Forces. Quite often Working Groups operate as preparatory
bodies for IEC
in technical matters.
Each Study Committee is constituted by a Chairman, a Secretary,
a Special reporter and 24 Regular members at the most, whose term
of office is 6 years. In addition, Observer members can be appointed
by countries that do not already have a Regular member on the
Committee.
Below are the current Finnish members in different Science Committees.

Study Committee meetings are held once a year. There is
also the possibility to host a colloquium in conjunction
to give a limited number of experts a chance to discuss
specific topics in depth.
Essential parts of CIGRE's activities include the publication
of its bimonthly journal ELECTRA and the CIGRE Sessions
and Symposia. Every even year in Autumn, a CIGRE Session
is held in Paris where all Committees are present. In odd
years, public Symposiums and/or Regional Meetings are held
in different countries. Discussion focuses on particular
subjects, covered as well by Study Committees' activities,
but requiring deeper investigation with reference to the
specific problems of that geographic region.
Go to the CIGRE
main site and click "PUBLICATIONS" to find
papers on CIGRE Sessions and Symposia, ELECTRA articles,
brochures, etc.
