Committee members, domestic and abroad, feature expertise, experiences and influence, and a considerable of them are internationally renowned figures. The committee is comprised of members from multiple disciplines, fully demonstrating SUSAS as a major urban public event that is both professional and open.

The responsibilities of academic committee include: organizing academic committee sessions at each stage where progress, curators and plans are discussed and evaluated; attending forums and seminars during the art season, giving keynote speeches and participating in academic dialogues; attending various key activities during the art season, etc.
