ICDE Board 2026-2029: Nominate an Institutional Member Candidate

ICDE Institutional Members are invited to put forward names for the election of three members of the ICDE Board.

Institutional Members have the option to nominate a representative from their own institution, self-nominate, or nominate a representative from another ICDE Institutional Member. All nominations require official support from the nominee’s institution.

Three candidates shall be elected to the ICDE Board for a period of four years, from 2026-2029.

The term of office of three present members of the ICDE Board comes to an end on 31 December 2025.

These members are:

Neil Fassina
Melinda Bandalaria
Ebba Ossiannilsson

The other three members of the present ICDE Board whose terms continue until the end of 2027 are:

Mark Nichols (President)
Mpine Makoe
Andreia Inamorato (representing Individual members)

The ICDE Constitution states:

“§ 8: The Board is comprised of six members, hereunder one representing the individual membership, and is the highest authority between the Member Referendums. It shall hold at least four meetings annually, one of which in-person, upon the request of the President or if a majority of the Board members so request.”

Candidate profile

ICDE Board members are expected to come from a position at the executive leadership level in their institution. Nominated candidates should therefore have experience from institutional policy and decision-making from their institution, with a position such as Rector, Dean, Vice-President, Board member or Head of Department.
