DESY and European XFEL have established a joint Laser Advisory Committee (LAC). This committee provides advice, both for development and construction of new laser systems and for the operation of the many laser systems being part of the operated user facilities. It consists of six to eight members not involved in the development activities. It meets once a year in Hamburg, typically end of February.
