Dear ACENDIO members
With pleasure and pride we look back to the 13th ACENDIO Conference, which was held on March 19+20, 2021, along with the General Assembly. Having been re-elected as President with the best result is an honor, and your trust is supporting, thank you!
Today, I’m announcing the newest news which refer to ACENDIOs ongoing work:
On April 8, 2021, the first biennial, respectively the introductory board meeting took place to welcome Bente Christensen (Norway) and Mikko Härkönen (Finland) as new Board Members, and Claudia Leoni-Scheiber (Austria) was appointed as Vice-President. After this meeting Valentina Zeffiro (Italy) accepted being appointed to the remaining open board position. Congratulations and sincere thanks to all!
Take a look at the new board at: https://acendio.net/meet-the-board/ Further, Gianfranco Sanson (Italy) accepted the invitation as Co-Chair of the next Scientific Conference Committee. We are proud having such great expertise in the board, which represents a broad range of knowledge to serve ACENDIOs aims and mission. For further information, you find the board minutes here: https://acendio.net/news/board-meetings/
Organizing the first online conference was demanding for us, but a real success. My sincere thanks go to the keynote speakers Gail Keenan and Peter König, to presenters (oral and poster) and to all honorary guests. Special thanks also to the Secretary Fabio D’Agostino and the Conference Committee Helen de Graaf-Waar, Mariann Fossum and Wolter Paans.
