CHAPS – College of Helvetic Astronomy Professors
The College of Helvetic Astronomy ProfessorS (CHAPS) is the astronomy counterpart of the CHIPP Board in particle physics. It can be seen as a consultative, advisory body of the SCFA without being an independent legal entity.
The membership of CHAPS was defined at the CHAPS meeting of 18 January 2013 as: "CHAPS members are professors with a perrnanent position in Switzerland. This includes titular professors but excludes, e.g., SNSF and ERC professors." Until further clarification, tenure-track ass. professors are included.
