This is the second term of office for both of them in the speaker team – the roles have only been swapped.

Ethical, Legal and Social Aspects
- Speaker: Vasilka Stoilova (Uni Mannheim)

Vasilka Stoilova is the new head of the section, taking over from Franziska Boehm, whom we would like to thank for her commitment over the past two years. Ulrich Sax stood again as deputy speaker and was re-elected.

After the election, both will be involved in the section in switched roles.
Many thanks to all those who have taken on an office and are coordinating further progress in the sections!
