This section provides an introduction to the Expert Management System (EMS), 2026 release version, and helps you understand what you can do as a user when you access the platform.
EMS is designed to give you autonomy to manage your personal information, access settings, and activities related to your IEC roles.
Using EMS during the transition period
During the transition to the new Expert Management System (EMS), users may temporarily interact with both the new Expert Area and the old EMS.
This approach ensures continuity and allows users to complete their activities without disruption.
What to expect
-
All user self-management features are available in the new EMS
-
Some users administration actions or information may still be handled in the previous EMS during the transition by NC Admin
-
When needed, users can redirect between systems
This dual navigation is temporary and supports a smooth and progressive transition.

ℹ️ This information will be removed once the transition to the new EMS is completed.
