CALL FOR CANDIDACIES FOR THE ESMTB BOARD
The call for candidacies to be a member of the ESMTB Board is now open. Mathematical and theoretical biologists are invited to submit their candidacies for membership of the ESMTB Board. In this round, six new board members will be elected by ESMTB members (via electronic ballots managed by
the current Board).
The period of office is six years, and will run from January 2027 to December 2032. The Board conducts its actions mainly through online meetings and meets in person during the ECMTBs.

Candidates should communicate their candidacy by sending an email to the current ESMTB Secretary (Zuzanna Szymańska, zk.szymanska@uw.edu.pl) with the following information:

The European Society for Mathematical and Theoretical Biology (ESMTB) promotes excellent activities on theoretical approaches and mathematical tools in biology and medicine in a European and wider context. This goal is pursued by encouraging community networking and scientific collaboration, as well as the organization of summer schools and conferences, in particular of the bi-annual European Conference in Mathematical and Theoretical Biology (ECMTB). ESMTB also organizes online colloquia in topics of interest to its members, awards travel grants and prizes such as the Reinhart Heinrich Doctoral Thesis Award and the Ovide Arino Outreach Award and it selects the paper winning the Karl-Peter-Hadeler Prize of the Journal of Mathematical Biology. An annual report is published yearly, the ESMTB Communications, available for download on our website.
