Abstract
FOLLOWING upon an informal meeting at which persons connected with some fifteen organisations interested in sociological and scientific problems were present, a Research Co-ordination Committee was formed to draw up plans for the co-ordination of scientific research as applied to human welfare. The Committee held its first meeting on January 30 at Morley College, London, and drafted a preliminary list of problems worthy of investigation and a list of organisations that are likely to have material bearing on those problems. As an example may be cited problems arising out of the housing question in connexion with the clearance of slums. Five aspects (architectural, engineering, financial, medical and sociological) have been put down for consideration, and steps are being taken to collect the necessary information. The offices of the Committee are at Hazlitt House, Southampton Buildings, W.C.2.
