ORCID has opened its annual call for nominations to the ORCID Board of Directors. All ORCID member organizations are eligible to nominate a representative to stand for election as a Member Director on the Board. This year, ORCID is seeking up to four candidates for this position. The nominee must be an employee or an official representative of a current ORCID member organization.
In addition, two seats on the Board are reserved for Researcher Directors – practicing researchers who do not need to be affiliated with an ORCID member organization. This year, ORCID is seeking one candidate for this position.
At the same time, ORCID is seeking new members for its Researcher Advisory Council (ORAC).
All nominations must be submitted by 27 June 2025.
