The current members of the EFMI AC2 Committee are:

  • John Mantas (as Chair), University of Athens
  • Catherine Chronaki, HL7 Europe
  • Arie Hasman, University of Amsterdam
  • Inge Madsen, University of Aalborg
  • Anne Moen, University of Oslo
  • Kaija Saranto, University of Eastern Finland
  • Lacramioara Stoicu-Tivadar, University Politehnica Timisoara
  • Alfred Winter, University of Leipzig
