In June 2017, the members of EPSA will elect a new President and four new regular members of the Steering Committee. The current Vice President and four other members of the Steering Committee will remain in office to guarantee continuity. For the first time in the history of EPSA, these elections will be conducted electronically.

To prepare for the elections, we are seeking nominations for the various offices. All EPSA members are invited to propose candidates for President and for regular Steering Committee members. Note that the research institute of the President hosts the EPSA office and takes care of the EPSA webpage. EPSA has only very limited (if any) resources to contribute to this. Before proposing candidates, make sure that the candidates are willing to run and that they are EPSA members. As EPSA would like to involve more women philosophers of science, the nomination of female candidates is especially encouraged. Nominations should be sent to the EPSA email-address: epsa@lrz.uni-muenchen.de. The deadline for nominations is 1 March 2017. The Nomination Committee will then come up with a list of up to three candidates for President and up to eight candidates for regular members of the Steering Committee. Members of previous Steering Committees (but not of the present one) can run again if they wish.

EPSA is a thriving learned society with the goal of promoting philosophy of science in Europe. To keep it thriving, it is important to have active and committed officers. We therefore urge all EPSA members to nominate suitable candidates.

The members of the Nomination Committee are Jeanne Peijnenburg (chair), Helen Beebee, Phyllis Illari, Theo Kuipers, and Marcel Weber.
