The Executive Committee ensures the continuity of the traditions of the organisation and monitors the sound development of the activities carried out within the UISPP. It collaborates with the board, at its request, as regards the representation of the UISPP and the following-up of the activities of the different scientific commissions.
The Executive Committee regularly follows up on the progress of the organisation of the World Congress, but it intervenes in the organisation only if unexpected situations occur or if there are major delays in the detailed programme proposed by the organising institution.
