Directors
Dear ESR
Member,
Dear
Colleague,
Dear
Friend,
First of all I would like
to wish you all a very happy, healthy and
successful New Year 2018. I hope your New Year is
off to a good start, and that, up to now, you
were able to keep your New Year’s resolutions
;-).
As you already know, the ESR had a
truly awesome and wondrous year in 2017, but the
good news is that 2018 promises to be even more
amazing for our society. And I am happy to let
you know that we were off to a running start,
since we already had our first meetings of the
ESR Executive Council and the Board of Directors
in Vienna and things are looking
good.
