Selected answer:committees
Explanation:
Actually, it has the usual meaning > committee =
A noun
1 committee, commission

a special group delegated to consider some matter; "a committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours" - Milton Berle

It seems to be a part of scientific papers/conferences/works (mostly).
Look here

I assume it contains a list and a presentation of various committees.
