Elections to the Board of Directors of EURASIP took place during August and September 2023. I am delighted to announce that Maria Sabrina Greco has been re-elected to serve for a second term on the Board. I am also delighted to welcome two new directors in the EURASIP Board: Nelly Pustelnik (CNRs and ENS Lyon) and Esa Ollila (Aalto University).
These roles take effect from January 2024.
