At this year’s Annual General Meeting in Barcelona, our members elected a new board. In fact, ten members of last year’s board will remain for another year, which bodes well for retaining continuity and experience on the board for the coming year.
Anna Kuppuswamy was elected as the Chair, and Mona Simion as Vice-Chair, while Scott Bremer moves into the Outgoing Chair position. Two members were voted into the two vacant board positions, namely Anna Dzimitrowicz (working in the PE Domain at the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology) and Gianvito Vilé (working in the PE domain at the Politecnico di Milano).
One of the board positions was vacated by Outgoing Chair Katalin Solymosi. At the AGM, the YAE made special mention of the tireless work of Katalin for the YAE over the past 5 years, where she leaves an important legacy of a grown organisation, that has an even more important voice in the European science-policy and science-for-policy landscape. We will miss Katalin.
The members of the 2025-2026 board are listed in the figure above, and on the website.
