The New IFSR Executive Committee
Dear Readers!
I hope that the layout of the new Newsletter will be a pleasant surprise for you. We made some far reaching changes to the Newsletter in order to serve IFSR’s goals better. For short-lived up-to-date news we will rely on our newly created Web-page: have a look at it and give us your feedback! The Newsletter will appear once a year and will focus on topics directly related to the IFSR: Board Meetings and meetings of the Executive Committee, allowing you to get first hand information on the IFSR. The Fuschl Conversation will
be given a prominent place. Every odd year we will give a preview of the next Fuschl Conversation
including information as how to participate. In even years we will report extensively on the past Fuschl Conversation. We will also report on the activities of our member societies, on the contents of the Journal
of Systems Research and Behavioural Science and on past conferences. The Calendar of Events and the announcement of conferences will be discontinued. Give me your feedback!
