The EMS Council meets every second year. The next meeting will be held in Bled, Slovenia, 25th and 26th June 2022, at Rikli Balance Hotel (www.sava-hotels-resorts.com/en/sava-hoteli-bled).

Delegates

Delegates to the Council shall be elected for a period of four years. A delegate may be re-elected provided that consecutive service in the same capacity does not exceed eight years. Delegates will be elected by the following categories of members.

(a) Full members

Full members are national mathematical societies, which elect 1, 2, 3, or 4 delegates according to their membership class. The Council decides the membership class and societies are invited to apply for the class upgrade. However, the current membership class of the society determines the number of delegates for the 2022 Council.

Each society is responsible for the election of its delegates. To be eligible to nominate its delegates the society must have paid the corporate membership fee for the year 2021 and/or 2022. It is not compulsory but is highly appreciated that the full member delegates join the EMS as individual members.

The link to the online nomination form for delegates of full members is below. The deadline for nominations for delegates of full members is 4th April 2022.

(b) Associate members

Delegates representing associate members shall be elected by a ballot organized by the Executive Committee from a list of candidates who have been nominated and seconded by associate members, and have agreed to serve. In October 2021, there were three associate members and, according to our statutes, (up to) one delegate may represent these members. Associate members delegates must themselves be members of the EMS and have paid the individual membership fees for the year 2021 and/or 2022. The associate member delegate Susanne Ditlevsen can be re-elected for the second term 2022–2025.
