Call for Nominations for Vice President of Europlanet Board

Europlanet invites nominations for one Vice-President position on the Executive Board of the Europlanet Society and Europlanet Association. Deadline for nominations: 09 August 2024.

The election results will be announced during the General Assembly at the hybrid Europlanet Science Congress (EPSC) 2024 in Berlin/online on Tuesday, 10 September 2024. An electronic ballot will be launched 20 days before the meeting, with all members of the Society encouraged to vote.

The Executive Board is the governing body of the Europlanet Society and the Executive Board members are responsible for directing and controlling the affairs and property of the Europlanet Society, including EPSC. The Executive Board consists of the five officers of the Society (the President, two Vice-Presidents, the Secretary and the Treasurer) and six other members, who are elected for a period of four years.

The President, Vice-Presidents, Secretary and Treasurer also sit on the administrative body of the Europlanet Association (AISBL), the Europlanet legal entity established in 2023 in Belgium and, as such, are legal representatives of the Europlanet Association and responsible for taking decisions on its behalf.

The President, Treasurer, Secretary, one Vice President and six Board Members were elected less than four years ago. As such, the elections in 2024 will only concern one open Vice-President officer position, which is vacant as Angelo Pio Rossi is stepping down after the completion of his term.

The call for nominations is now open for potential candidates for the Europlanet Society Executive Board Vice President position. The call will close on 09 August 2024.

Any two or more members of the Europlanet Society may nominate candidates for the election to the Executive Board. Self-nomination is possible and encouraged. Standing as a candidate for Vice-President is an important opportunity to help shape Europlanet at an exciting time, so please consider taking on this role!
