Earlier this autumn the European Stroke Journal sent out a call for applications for new members of the board of the journal. No less than 33 highly qualified persons announced their interest. A selection has now been made, in which scientific merits, past metrics as reviewer for the journal, gender balance, and geographical distribution have been taken into account. Special attention has been paid to equalising the gender balance of the board and involving well qualified researchers from the younger generation.
We warmly welcome the following persons as new members of the board:
Anna Bersano
Daniel Bos
Israel Fernandez Cadenas
Barbara Casolla
Bastian Cheng
Gian Marco De Marchis
Nele Demeyere
Ana Catarina Fonseca
Bianca Fuentes
Petra Ijäs
Dalius Jatuzis
Elias Johansson
Aresteidis Katsanos
Dearbhia Kelly
Zhe Kang Law
Xinyi Leng
Linxin Li
Marco Pasi
As part of the regular renewal of the board, we want to thank warmly the following persons who have served on the board for six years since the start of the journal, and who now leave the board:

Martin Brown
Antoni Davalos
