The 30th EBU Technical Assembly has elected a new Technical Committee and Chair at its annual meeting, hosted by Italian broadcaster Rai in Naples this year.
Michael Eberhard, CTO of German EBU member organisation ARD/SWR, was elected Chair of the Technical Committee (TC), taking over from Michael Nugent (ERT), who led the TC from 2022 to 2024. Brian Wynne from Irish public broadcaster RTÉ and Annsofi Eriksson from Swedish Radio were elected first and second Vice Chairs respectively.
The annual Technical Assembly gathers high-level representatives from all EBU members for an exchange on technical topics of great strategic importance to public service media. It reviews the Technical Committee’s and the EBU Technology & Innovation department’s ongoing work, endorses the TC’s strategic roadmap, and elects a new Technical Committee every two years.
The 13 Member representatives of the Technical Committee shape the direction of the work carried out by the EBU’s Technology & Innovation department on behalf of the EBU membership and through the collaborative strategic programmes and working groups coordinated by the department. The TC is elected for a two-year term.
