  • Consider and comment on policies and topical issues that are relevant to the bone field and research in general
  • Develop guidelines and position papers
  • Respond to specific scientific queries where ECTS has been asked to give a view
  • Comment on topical issues
  • Assist with satisfying the educational requirements of ECTS members by working closely with the ECTS Education and Scientific Programme Committees to identify areas that require debate at the annual congress
