The Strategic Advisory Group, an active body to stimulate, guide and steer on CIM-Laser achieving the Centres goals, and to assist in the development of research and funding strategies beyond the end date of the Centre. The remit of the group is to:

• Contribute to the development and on-going enhancement of a clear rolling "roadmap" which will identify subject areas and technology for current and future target research both within and beyond the current funding period;
• Provide guidance and advice to achieve "roadmap" and other targets;
• Advise on strategy for the exploitation of research output from CIM-Laser, making use of the Group's general knowledge and its greater commercial picture to maximise impact;
• Provide feedback and guidance on the industrial and strategic Outreach activities.
