New Board

by Mark van den Brand, July 17, 2010

We have had elections for new board members and eventually 3 new board members were selected, Greg Michaelson, Peter van Roy and Mark van den Brand. The board members Maurizio Gabbrielli, Manuel Hermenegildo and Alan Mycroft stepped down.

I would like to inform you on modifications in the board of EAPLS. We have had elections for new board members and eventually 3 new board members were selected, Greg Michaelson, Peter van Roy and myself. The board members Maurizio Gabbrielli, Manuel Hermenegildo and Alan Mycroft stepped down. 


I thank these board members for their contribution to EAPLS, special thanks to Alan Mycroft for being President of EAPLS.

The new board consists of:

  • Mark van den Brand
  • Giorgio Ghelli
  • Paul Klint
  • Jens Knoop
  • Greg Michaelson
  • Arend Rensink
  • Peter Van Roy
I am elected as the new president of EAPLS, I was until now the general secretary of EAPLS. This task will be taken over by Jens Knoop. Paul Klint will remain treasurer of EAPLS. Giorgio Ghelli and Peter Van Roy will be responsible for the web pages. Arend Rensink will be working on the best dissertation awards. Greg Michaelson will invest time in broadening the best paper awards to non-ETAPS conferences.

I think that we have a new board which wants to further improve the visibility of EAPLS and to continue making it a livelier environment for us as PLS oriented researchers. Suggestions, ideas and contributions are welcome, please contact one of the board members to discuss them.

Mark van den Brand
President of EAPLS and former general secretary.
