Dear Colleagues: Greetings!
I am pleased to report to you that we have had a very
successful conference, ICEE-2012, last month in Turku, Finland. What a
wonderful get-together for participants from over 35 countries! My thanks go
the team in Turku, Finland, led by Prof. Janne Roslof, for their hard work.
Their success has been reflected in the many positive comments I have received
about the conference. When you have a chance, please browse through the photos
posted recently in the conference website (please click).
It is now time for us to look to the future. As was
announced in Turku, the year 2013 will be the Year of Africa for the iNEER
community as we meet in Morocco in June and in Cape Town in December. In 2014,
we will meet in Latvia and the year following, in 2015, we will assemble in
Croatia. Here are the details:
iCEER-2013 – Marrakech, Morocco, June
1-5, 2013
ICEE-ICIT 2013 Cape Town, South
Africa, December 8-12, 2013
ICEE-1014 Riga, Latvia, July 9 –

I hope you will join us in some if not all of these
exciting events.
