Dear Community of EFTA,
This extraordinary year is drawing to a close and we are looking to 2021 with hope and eagerness.
In this newsletter you will find the news from our boards, information from our community on research, writing and new initiatives.
We are as a board grieving for our dear Mony Elkaim and have included our tribute developed with input from all three boards within this newsletter.
Our board has coped with some difficult transitions this year, not only related to the pandemic. This has shown us that at times it takes courage and trust to remain in dialogue when we have held such different views. I want to welcome Juan Antonio Abeijon as the new president of EFTA CIM and wish him well for his term.
I finish with the good wishes of the EFTA board to all of our community and some words from a tweet by Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney: “If we can winter this one out, we can summer anywhere.”
