it’s become time for you to choose your three delegates to represent the section at the 2018 congresses!
The IMS delegates also coordinate IMS activities (in cooperation with the LYMEC Bureau and with the assistance of the IMS Council) and answer questions from current or potential members with regards to both LYMEC and IMS, so as to provide a better understanding of what LYMEC and the IMS are, what they do, and what they stand for.
Deadline for applications is 31 January, 12 pm (noon) CET.
To apply, please send the following materials to [email protected]:
- A motivation letter
- Your CV
- A picture (minimum 300*300 pixels)
- A short (max 50 word) motivation for the website
All candidates will be presented on an election website that will open on February 2 the latest.
Please keep in mind that being an IMS delegate is a one year commitment and you will have responsibilities. Please double-check your duties in our IMS Internal Rules.
The election Mandatory Meeting to question the candidates will be held on Skype between 3-9 February (exact date tbc after the application deadline).
The elections will run from Saturday, 10 February noon until Tuesday, February 13 noon.
