EURASIP Board of Directors elections 2021 - the voting is open

EURASIP is managed by a Board of Directors that is elected by the members. The EURASIP General Assembly confirms the election results and appointments. All elected Board members serve a three-year term, renewable once.

On December 31st, 2021, two current Board members will end their term: Björn Ottersten (1st term) and Augusto Sarti (1st term). Jean-Yves Tourneret will move to the seat of the EURASIP President on January 1st and as a consequence three seats become vacant.

The biographies of the candidates that appear on the 2021 election ballot can be found here .

An electronic procedure will be used to collect votes and the results will be announced in the newsletter and on the EURASIP website.

Electronic voting started on Tuesday August 31st, 2021 and ends on Friday September 24th, 2021. To cast their votes, EURASIP members are invited to visit the membership server, log in and follow the link to “Elections 2021”. Each voter casts exactly four weighted votes, with weights 4 for the first choice, 3 for the second choice etc.

When votes are properly registered, a confirmation e-mail is sent to the address in the membership profile. Electronic voting takes place in a manner that preserves voter anonymity. Questions related to the voting procedure may be sent to membership@eurasip.org.
