To ensure that the most scientifically promising research is supported, the BES program engages in long-range planning and prioritization, which rely heavily on input from external sources including workshops and meetings of the scientific community, advice from the federally chartered Basic Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (BESAC), Interagency Working Groups, and reports from other groups such as the National Academy of Sciences.  

Some of the recent BES-sponsored workshop reports with broad, cross-disciplinary implications are provided here.  Other BES-related workshop and technical reports more specific to BES Core Research Activities may be found on BES Division web pages.
