Dear Members!
2012 was an exciting year for the IFSR. We were involved in many activities: the IFSR-Conversation 2012 in Linz, the EMCSR-Conference in Vienna, the Meetings of the IASCYS and several talks with sister federations.
In this Newsletter we will report about some of the follow-up activities of the IFSR-Conversation 2012. You find a note on the start of the first e-voting call for the IFSR and – as usual report about activities of some of our member societies. In 2013 our primary task will be to improving the interactive communication with our members beyond e-voting.
With this Newsletter we would like to convey our Seasons Greetings and our best Wishes for the upcoming New Year!
With my best wishes
Yours sincerely
Gerhard Chroust
