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 is currently restricted to titular professors and to tenured professors (full or associated, or assistant tenure-track professors).
