CORESTA has four Study Groups :
The Study Groups are forums for presentations of research findings, scientific papers and debate on scientific work.
Within the Study Groups, Sub-Groups and Task Forces are set up to undertake specific scientific work.
The Study Groups hold meetings every year, either as joint meetings of the Agronomy & Phytopathology or the Smoke Science & Product Technology Study Groups (odd years), or at the same period within a CORESTA Congress (even years).
Any requests for further information being undertaken by the CORESTA Study Groups should be addressed to the CORESTA Secretariat (see Contacts).
In 2001 the Scientific Commission decided to transform the Smoke and Technology Study Groups into Smoke Science and Product Technology Study Groups respectively. The new scopes and distribution of work between the two new groups were presented to the delegates at the 2001 meeting in Xian. The transformation was finalized at the 2002 Congress in New Orleans.
