The General Assembly at the 65th IEA General Assembly meeting have elected Dr. Christian Christrup Kjeldsen from Aarhus University, Denmark as the new IEA Chair. Starting from January 2025, he will take over the position from Dr. Thierry Rocher who will have completed his second term as Chair over six years.
Given his deep knowledge of the association as a member of the General Assembly for eight years and a serving member of the Standing Committee, strong approach to communications aspects, and connection to IEA projects, Dr. Kjeldsen’s credentials are strongly rooted in academia along with bringing valuable experience in research and policy.
IEA Executive Director, Dr. Dirk Hastedt says:
“I am delighted to see that Dr. Kjeldsen has been elected as IEA Chair. His experience and knowledge will no doubt continue the great work done by Dr. Rocher.”
