Elections for EPS executive committee members will be held at the next EPS council meeting in May 2025. Members are elected for a two year term and can serve a maximum of two terms. 

We are looking for candidates with expertise and interests in issues relevant to the EPS community including education, outreach, science policy, gender equality, scientific publishing as well as excellent contact with the scientific community.

The Executive Committee is responsible for developing and steering the activities of the EPS.  Its members are expected to actively participate in the discussions and work of the Executive Committee. The members draft discussion documents, represent the EPS in various circumstances (Member Society meetings, Division and Group Boards, EPS projects, etc.), chair EPS Action Committees, and contribute to the aims of the Society.  Executive Committee members also ensure a dialog with various EPS constituents -- Member Societies, Divisions and Groups, Individual Members, Associate Members.

The members of the executive committee are drawn from lists nominated by the constituents of the EPS. 

In addition to the President, and vice-President, or President-elect as the case may be, the composition of the Executive Committee is as follows:

• Member Societies with more than 10,000 effective members designate a representative on the Executive Committee.  Currently, the IoP (UK) and the DPG (DE) meet this condition and will designate their representative on the Executive Committee.
• Other Member Societies are represented on the Executive Committee by 3 members elected by Council.
• Divisions and Groups are represented on the Executive Committee by 4 members elected by Council
• Individual Members and Associate Members are represented on the Executive Committee by 1 member each, elected by Council

Nominations in each category can be made by members of the respective categories. E.g. D/G chairs should nominate candidates for the division and group list. All Individual members of the EPS can  propose candidates for the individual member seat. 

If you would like to propose candidates please send the name, short CV and contact details of the proposed candidate to secretariat@eps.org. The deadline for nominations is 21st February 2025.
