Governing Board Elections 2023

The EISA Governing Board is responsible for designing and executing the key policies of the Association in line with its democratic mandate, which is authorised by members through annual General Assemblies. It oversees the association’s financial controlling and planning, as well as the management of its events, publications, funding portfolios and membership resources.


Governing Board members are responsible for specific portfolios, which are organised under three clusters: EventsMembership, and Scholarship & Teaching. Each member is responsible for managing their chosen portfolios in collaboration with other board members, implementing existing policies, designing new initiatives and supporting EISA activities using their academic and professional expertise.


The members of the Governing Board work in an honorary capacity and are only reimbursed for their actual costs and expenses.


First stage nominations will be considered by the EISA Governing Board and a shortlist of candidates will be presented to the EISA membership in April 2023. The membership will then vote to elect 7 new Governing Board members.


The election results will be announced in the EISA newsletter and on our communication channels in late April 2023.


The newly elected members will be ratified by the EISA General Assembly at the Pan-European Conference on International Relations in 2023.


Deadline for submissions is 28 February 2023.

Please list your country of residence.
Please confirm that you have an active EISA membership at the time of application.
