AEC Newsletter November 2020

Dear colleagues and friends,
it has been the 47th Annual Congress in the history of the AEC, but the first to be held as a gathering in virtual space. We are pleased of being able to say that we made the best out of it. My thanks go to all those who contributed to make this congress a success: to the AEC Congress Committee, to our hosts in Vienna, to the AEC office staff, to the speakers and musicians, but last but not least to our members who were wonderful participants.
We are now looking ahead. Let's set off to new, hopefully soon COVID-free shores.
