Message from the President
Dear ESSPD Members, Colleagues, and Friends,
I hope all of you returned safely from our amazingly enriching and intense conference in Sitges. I have heard from many of you, that this was one of our best conferences with a lot of scientific insight and important discussion as well as socializing and enjoying beautiful Sitges. Thank you to everyone who contributed!
At the end of the conference in Sitges I took over the ESSPD presidency from Lars Mehlum, who did a fantastic job for two years. It is an honor and a pleasure to follow in your footsteps, Lars. Thank you for your great contribution!
