2021 is election year at ELI. In February, the ELI Council already elected the incoming ELI President Pascal Pichonnaz, Vice-Presidents Lord John Thomas and Anne Birgitte Gammeljord, and Treasurer Pietro Sirena, who took on 8 September 2021 for a term of two years.
Further, ELI Fellows elected 28 new Council Members for a four-year term. The results were revealed at the closing ceremony of ELI's Annual Conference on 8 September 2021.

The newly composed Council will elect the Executive Committee’s three innominate members at its first meeting of 15 September 2021.
We are immensely grateful to all the candidates that ran and hope that those who were not elected are not discouraged from serving in ELI in other capacities or from running in future elections. Our gratitude also goes to all the ELI Fellows that exercised their votes in this important election and to Returning Officer (and Speaker of the ELI Senate) Reinhard Zimmermann for overseeing the elections.
