EURASIP BoD Elections
EURASIP Board of Directors elections 2016

EURASIP is managed by the Board of Directors (BoD). EURASIP BoD elections are held every two years. The EURASIP Advisory Committee confirms the BoD election results and appointments. All elected BoD members serve four year terms.

On December 31st, 2016, three current BoD voting members are ending their term (Fulvio Gini, Patrick Naylor and Ana Perez-Neira). The biographies of the candidates that appear on the 2016 election ballot can be found here.

An electronic procedure will be used to collect votes and the results will be announced during the Opening Ceremony of EUSIPCO 2016, Budapest, Hungary, on Tuesday morning August 30.

Electronic voting starts on Monday June 20 and ends on Saturday August 20, 2016. To cast their votes, EURASIP members are invited to visit the membership server, log in and follow the link to 'Elections 2016. Each voter casts exactly three weighted votes, with weights 3 (1st choice), 2 (2nd choice) and 1 (3rd choice), respectively.

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).
