During the EPS Forum 2024, the Action Committee convened for its biannual meeting. The discussions covered recent developments in the YM Programme, and the committee sketched out plans for future activities to continue advancing our goals.
A significant part of the meeting was the election of a new chairperson to succeed Mattia Ostinato.
We are pleased to announce that Carmen Martin has been elected as the EPS YM Chair for the 2024-2026 tenure period. Carmen brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the role, and we are confident she will lead the programme with distinction.
Carmen Martín Valderrama, PhD student at CIC nanoGUNE, Spain, where she works on nanomagnetism and magneto-optics, and former member of the YM section in Valladolid, Physics League, received the support of the entire committee and took over the chair position from the YM leadership meeting onwards. She presented an overview of the main points the action committee will work on for the next two years, which consists in (1) improving the internal processes, (2) strengthening the YM network and the relationship with other associations and (3) working on our digital presence, webpage and social media.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mattia Ostinato for his dedicated work and exceptional #leadership over the past two years. His contributions have been invaluable, and he has set a high standard for future leadership. We wish Carmen all the best and much success in her new role, and we look forward to the continued progress and achievements under her guidance.
