-The science ​program of the SLS is carried out by a SLS Science Consortium ​(SLS-SC) gathering over **100 scientists from 10+ countries** (see Science Team). The SLS-SC ​includes in particular a strong French and Canadian core team, illustrating the fruitful collaborative expertise built up over the last few decades of shared observing effort at CFHT, but also involves ​more recent CFHT partners such as Brazil ​and Taiwan. ​ It also includes a small number of experts from the non-CFHT countries Switzerland and Portugal, as a return for (and in proportion to) their active involvement in the design and construction of SPIRou.  ​A potential participation from IfA/UH to the SLS is currently being investigated. ​+The [[sls:​components|science ​programme]] ​is carried out by the Science Consortium. ​ The consortium ​includes in particular a strong French and Canadian core team, illustrating the fruitful collaborative expertise built up over the last few decades of shared observing effort at CFHT;  it also involves ​Switzerland,​ Taiwan, ​Brazil ​Portugal, ​as well as a few scientists from other countries.  ​
  
-Altogether, more than **30 research institutes** (e.g., IRAP/​OMP/​UPS,​ IPAG/​OSUG/​UJF,​ LAM/​Pythéas/​AMU,​ IAP, LESIA/OP, SAp/​AIM/​CEA,​ LERMA/OP, IAS, LUTH/OP, IMCCE/OP, LATMOS/​IPSL,​ LUPM, ENS, UTINAM and OCA in France; UdeM, NRC, UVic, UofT, UWO, RMC, BU, McMaster, McGill, York Univ and UBC in Canada; LNA, UFRN, UFMG and USP in Brazil; ASIAA in Taiwan; CFHT in Hawaii) are already part of the SLS-SC, with additional contributions from Switzerland (OG at Université de Genève) and Portugal (CAUP at Universidade do Porto). ​ Persons from the CFHT community (from countries/​institutes investing cash, manpower and/or observing nights into SPIRou and/or the SLS) and interested in joining the SLS-SC will be welcome to do so at any time.  ​ 
  
-Practically speaking, we propose that all members of the SLS-SC have **equal access to the raw and processed SLS data** provided they formally agree to **comply with the SLS Data Access and Publication Policies** (SLS-DA and SLS-PP) and to thereby become **Registered Users** (SLS-RUs). The number of SLS-RUs from non-CFHT partners (Switzerland and Portugal) is limited to a maximum of 10 (6 from OG and 4 from CAUP), reflecting their financial & manpower investment in the design & construction of SPIRou. ​ Should an existing CFHT partner decide to quit CFHT, the number of SLS-RUs from this partner to the SLS-SC will also be limited in proportion to its contribution to SPIRou. ​ 
- 
-The [[http://​spirou.irap.omp.eu/​News-Discoveries/​News/​2014-Sept.-First-Science-Meeting|first SPIRou science meeting]], held in Paris on 2014 September 22-25 and gathering ~70 participants,​ provided numerous opportunities of extended discussions with the community at large on the organization and coordination of the SLS-SC. ​ Further similar events will take place regularly in the future, at a typical yearly rate when involving the whole community and at a more frequent pace for more focussed subgroups, to ensure that the SLS-SC is optimally prepared to efficiently carry-out the SLS when SPIRou starts to operate in 2017.
