Harvard University established the Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx) Advisory Committee (AC) in 2019 to provide advice to Harvard Vice Provost for Research and the SCoPEx research team on if and under what conditions SCoPEx could proceed. Specifically, the AC was asked to provide recommendations on the: scientific quality and importance of the proposed experiment; risks associated with the proposed research; effectiveness of risk management; the need, objectives and possible formats for stakeholder engagement; and other issues as deemed necessary by the Advisory Committee. Shuchi Talati, DSG's Founder and Executive Director, sat on the AC and contributed to this report.
