New governance (10 members, full and associate) is stabilized and growing again
New members are Serbia, and Euroscience, the grass-roots association of European researchers (ESOF)
Membership redeployment starting, based on SWOT analysis of ESF and its new mission, and elaboration of membership benefits document – i.e. not simply Science Connect
ESF still very visible on the European landscape, and invited to most high-level events or consultations (FP9, SAM, Smits/Paquet, governance, etc.)

ESF’s aim is to serve the needs of the European research community and it is currently offering services to science and research in Europe through:
Research Grant Evaluation
Institutional Evaluation
European Projects Coordination and Support
Career Tracking Surveys and Analysis
Scientific Platforms Hosting
Change

13. ESF Community of Experts - CoEx
Since 1974, over 300,000 scientists from 186 countries have benefited from participation in 2,000 ESF networks and programmes
This is an invaluable network, which we are reactivating and expanding as the ESF Community of Experts.
The ESF Community of Experts plays a vital role in sustaining scientific collaboration, supporting excellence in peer-review and in research grant and proposal evaluation. 

14. Membership in the CoEx
1┃ CoRP - College of review panel members – 195 members
2┃ CoER - College of expert reviewers – 3,900 members
3┃ CoResA - College of Reseach Associates – 172 members

17. SCIENTIFIC PLATFORM HOSTING
Benefit from effective secretariats, hosting platforms and organisational structures (finance, HR, communication)
Composed of high-level independent researchers or research managers who provide targeted expert advice in areas of science, policy, infrastructure, environment and society in Europe  policy and foresight dimension
Committee on Radio Astronomy Frequencies European Space Sciences Committee Nuclear Physics European Collaboration Committee 

18. ESF & NuPECC A long-lasting collaboration (1988/1991)
Meeting on January in ESF Strasbourg with the incoming Chair Marek Lewitowicz and Scientific Secretary Sissy Körner
One thing to consider now that the ESF transition is completed, is the periodic review of NuPECC, as foreseen in the ToR
