BP&IF Board

According to the BPIF statutes, five BPIF Board members have to be replaced this year: D. Batani, P. Raczka, A. Schiavi, V. Bychenko and D. Margarone (see composition of the 2015 Board below).

Vote before 28 February 2017 here!

The 2017 elections are conducted by a committee consisting of former members of the BPIF Board: L. Gizzi (Italy), J. Honrubia (Spain), J. Meyer-ter-Vehn (Germany) and V. Tikhonchuk (France).

For voting, you have to be a member of the European Physical Society or one of the national societies affiliated with the EPS. As the BPIF Board doesn’t maintain a mailing list for its members, you will be asked to certify explicitly that you are a member of EPS/PPD or National Societies affiliated to EPS. You are also encouraged to distribute this call to colleagues of your institute/department to ensure the participation of the BPIF community in this call.

The candidates are (per alphabetic order):

  • Gabriele Cristoforetti, CNR/INO (Italy)
  • Istvan Földes, HAS Wigner Research Centre (Hungary)
  • Daniele Margarone, ELI-Beamlines (Czech Republic)
  • Caterina Riconda, LULI (France)
  • Andrey Savel’ev, Lomonosov Moscow State Univ. (Russia)
  • Angelo Schiavi, Sapienza Rome Univ. (Italy)
  • Robbie Scott, RAL (UK)
  • Luca Volpe, CLPU, Spain

All the CVs are available here.

Results of the elections will be announced in May and the newly elected board will convene in Prague during the EPS/PPD Conference.

Following the 2015 elections, the composition of the Board is the following:
