Since January 1^st 2016, Emilia Gómez is the president-elect of the International Society for Music Information Retrieval. She was elected at the business meeting of the annual ISMIR conference last October 2015 in Málaga. The current board also includes Fabien Gouyon (president), Eric J. Humphrey (secretary), Xiao Hu (treasurer), and Amélie Anglade, Meinard Müller and Geoffroy Peeters as board members.

The International Society for Music Information Retrieval is a non-profit organization seeking to advance the access, organization, and understanding of music information. As a field, music information retrieval (MIR) focuses on the research and development of computational systems to help humans better make sense of this data, drawing from a diverse set of disciplines, including, but my no means limited to, music theory, computer science, psychology, neuroscience, library science, electrical engineering, and machine learning.

The main activity of ISMIR is happening at the annual ISMIR international conference, with an attendance of 200 to 300 people and around 100 papers published in each edition, with decreasing acceptance rate.  ISMIR papers have a great impact: ISMIR is currently the 5th ranked publication in the “Multimedia” subcategory of “Engineering and Computer Science” and the 1st ranked in the “Music&Musicology” subcategory of “Humanities, Literature, and Arts".
