Equally by unanimous votes, the following Vice-Presidents were elected to complete the Board of the Europe Academy:

- Sonia García Gómez, ANPE
- Claude Heiser, CGFP
- Dietmar Knecht, dbb
- Alain Larrata, Avenir Secours

CESI Secretary General Klaus Heeger said: "I warmly congratulate Marcello Pacifico on his re-election and welcome the newly elected Vice-Presidents to the Europe Academy Board. Their collective expertise and commitment will be key to further strengthening the Academy’s mission of promoting trade union capacity building for members and affiliates of CESI across Europe. I look forward to working closely with the new Board as we continue to empower workers through knowledge and skills development."
