Candidature procedure - call closed
The call for candidatures closed on 30 September 2026.
Outcome of the call and next steps
The number of candidatures received matched the number of available positions. The current ENCR Steering Committee therefore decided not to proceed with an online ballot and invited the candidates to serve for the 2027–2029 term.
The candidates have been contacted to confirm their acceptance. Once all confirmations have been received, the composition of the new Steering Committee will be published on this page.
The new Steering Committee will begin its mandate on 1 January 2027.
