Increasing our social media presence
A few months ago, iEMSs moved to BlueSky at @iemss.org as the society has decided to leave X (Twitter). We still run a LinkedIn group and our colleagues in China run a WeChat Unetwork. We wish to improve our social media presence and develop a communications strategy to ensure that we have multiple effective means of communicating with current and potential members.
The Outreach Committee is seeking to increase its reach by inviting interested society members to join us. We are particularly interested in interest from emerging and mid-career members with this would be a great opportunity for newer members to get more involved with the Society.
Anyone interested please reach out to us at outreach@iemss.org.
iEMSs 2026 in University College Dublin (UCD) Dublin, Ireland
The 13th iEMSs conference will be held on 12-16 July 2026 at University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland, convened by David Ayala-Cabrera and Soumyabrata Dev. UCD is Ireland’s largest university, blending over 160 years of history with modern facilities. The conference venue will be O’Reilly Hall within the main campus within Dublin City. Dublin is well connected to direct routes from Europe and North America and the city is well-served by public transportation. The conference location will offer a good range of accommodation options ranging from university halls to near-by hotels. Dublin and Ireland will be an attractive destination for Society members. The Irish are world renowned for their hospitality and Dublin is a city of contrasts, blending historic charm with modern sophistication.
The conference website is under preparation. Information about the Streams and a call for Sessions will be made soon.
We look forward to seeing you in Dublin!
