It is an honor and a pleasure to have been elected as President of the International Institute of Forecasters during our last IIF Board Meeting in Dijon, 29-30 June 2024. I would like to thank all the Board members for their trust, in particular the last President George Athanasopoulos. Big shoes to fill !

I will do my best to lead the IIF and to pursue the great dynamics that we had over the recent years. The IIF is a non-profit organization, so all the funds are re-invested to please our members. In particular we deliver many research prizes and grants, and subsidize various activities (workshops, summer school, …) mainly towards junior researchers. Check our website if you want to know more:

Looking forward to seeing you in Beijing, 30 June – 2 July 2025, for ISF2025 !
