EOSC-A 9th General Assembly

22 November 2024, 10-13:30 CET

Online

The 9th EOSC Association General Assembly will be a virtual meeting, giving you the opportunity to conveniently join us from your preferred location, to vote on decision items, and to contribute to critical discussions that impact the direction of EOSC-A. The draft agenda is available here.

Notably, we anticipate that four Board of Directors positions will be filled at GA#9 via direct election by the EOSC-A membership. This represents a significant turnover of the EOSC-A leadership at a critical time in EOSC’s development, and we encourage all qualified Members to strongly consider enrolling as candidates.
