further information
To ensure a balanced composition that combines continuity with fresh insights, the Commission intends to automatically renew the mandate of approximately 10 to 12 existing members. Priority will be given to those who have served only one term, have made significant contributions to the Board’s work, and have demonstrated a strong commitment to continue.
The remaining positions - up to a total of 20 Board members - will be filled through this open call.
