Dear all,

The BCS Information Retrieval specialist group invites nominations for the
following positions:

- Vice Chair
- Inclusion Officer
- Early Careers Advocate
- Events Coordinator
- 1 ordinary member of the committee

Those elected will serve a two-year term commencing from the 2025 AGM (held
on the 26th November 2025).

The committee seeks to promote Information Retrieval worldwide and makes
decisions on a number of important matters, including the location of ECIR,
allocating funds for student travel support, organising other meetings and
conferences, including Search Solutions, running the Karen Sp=C3=A4rck Jone=
s
Award and several other activities.

The committee normally meets four times per year, usually in London, with
most members attending via video conference.

Nominations should have the written support of a nominator and seconder,
and the written confirmation of the person nominated that they wish to
stand. The person standing, the nominator and seconder should all be
members of the group (if you receive this message, you are almost certainly
eligible to stand or act as a nominator or seconder).

Nominations should include a brief biography (one paragraph), and a brief
statement of why you wish to stand (one paragraph). In line with the BCS
goals related to diversity and inclusion, we welcome nominations from
underrepresented groups, including women and BAME individuals.

Only members of the BCS may vote in the election.

Nominations should be sent by email to the Secretary of the Group, Monica
Paramita ([email protected]), and the Chair, Ingo Frommholz (
[email protected]), by 17:00 (UK) on Tuesday, 4 November 2025.

Please feel free to contact me and Ingo with any requests for further
information. We look forward to receiving your nominations.

Kind regards,

Monica Paramita
Secretary to the BCS IRSG Committee
