A collective decision was taken at the June 2017 World Congress to renew the Management Board of the International Microsimulation Association (IMA), giving LISER a significant involvement within IMA.

The eleven members of the renewed IMA Management Board include two researchers from LISER (Philippe Liégeois [IMA Vice-President since 2015] and Denisa Sologon [newly appointed member]) as well as a member of the LISER Board of Administrators (Raymond Wagener [IMA Treasurer since 2015]). IMA Board members are nominated for two years, until the next World Congress will be held in Ireland in 2019.
