The SIGSEM board

The current board is composed of:

  • Johan Bos (President);
  • Katrin Erk (Secretary);
  • Marco Baroni (Information Officer);
  • Gemma Boleda (Information Officer);
  • Alexander Koller (Information Officer);
  • Matthew Purver (Information Officer).

The contact addresses of the board members are here.

Past and Future Elections

The last elections were held in October 2013, as planned. Three new information officiers joined the board. The next elections are planned later this year, probably in October (2016).

Members

The current SIGSEM membership counts around 800 members. We have started cleaning up the database with members, by removing registered members whose email addresses aren't valid anymore after a couple of email bounces, of people who we can't reach otherwise. There is an active, moderated mailinglist. Our website, SIGSEM, is wiki-based and is regularly updated by SIGSEM's information officers.

The next IWCS will take place in 2017 in France. The official announcement of this event has not been distributed yet. The *SEM events are jointly organized by SIGSEM and SIGLEX. *SEM-2016 will take place in Berlin, collocated with ACL.
