CASA is lead by the scientific leaders of each laboratory within the consortium, which form a steering committee that meets at least twice per year:
- Prof. Othmar Müntener (UNIL – LA-ICP-MS lab – Chair of CASA)
- Prof. Johanna Marin Carbonne (UNIL – SwissSIMS)
- Prof. Lukas Baumgartner (UNIL – EMPA)
- Prof. Allison Daley (UNIL – SEM)
- Prof. Anders Meibom (EPFL- NanoSIMS lab)
This steering committee discusses and coordinates:
- Projects that require more than one instrument within CASA
- Acquisition of new equipment
- New method developments
- Courses, seminars, and workshops
- An annual activity report addressed to the Rektorat of the University of Lausanne and to the Presidency of the EPFL.
