The EPS Nuclear Physics Division (NPD) board met in late October in Santiago de Compostela (Spain) at the closing of the European Nuclear Physics Conference (EuNPC2022).

During this meeting, Alessandra Fantoni was elected as future chair of the board. She will take over from the current chair, Alison Bruce, in 2024.

Alessandra Fantoni, senior staff scientist at the INFN National Laboratories of Frascati (Italy), has devoted her career to experimental nuclear physics, in particular to hadronic physics with electromagnetic probes at HERMES (DESY, Germany) and in nuclear physics with ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at ALICE (CERN, Switzerland). After having served as scientific secretary of the EPS-NPD board for two years, she will bring to it her vision and experience, strong of the several high-level management roles she has previously undertaken, both in the HERMES and ALICE experiments.
