EMS Handbook: Executive Committee

2.2.10 EC meetings

The EC holds two main meetings twice a year: In-person meeting in spring, typically on some Friday–Sunday in March/April, and (usually online) in autumn, typically on some Friday–Sunday in October/November, and transacts much of its discussions also by email or further video conferences. The EC meeting circles around Europe and is always hosted by one of the EMS corporate members. The spring EC meeting may be combined with the EMS Meeting of Presidents. In this case, the EC meets for 1.5 days from Friday morning to Saturday noon, otherwise from Friday afternoon to Sunday noon.

The EC can also meet virtually in between the spring and autumn meetings.

The participants of the EC meetings are EC members, EMS Secretariat, and invited guests:

• (in the case the meeting is in person), the representatives of the host society (who present their society),
• Editor-in-Chief of the EMS Magazine,
• EMS Community Engagement Manager,
• Managing Director of the EMS Press,
• organizers of the next ECM,
• chairs of standing committees (selected based on the current situation),
• and other guests depending on the situation.
