Season’s Greetings from CESOC
This year has been a prosperous one for CESOC. We are happy about the many enthusiastic members, the new additions to the directors‘ board and coordination office, the working groups formed, and a successful Members‘ Assembly with a social gathering in the summer. We are very much looking forward to new ventures in 2024! However, we would also like to pause for a moment to remember our dear colleague Astrid Kiendler-Scharr and honor her legacy, who was instrumental in founding CESOC and setting it on the right track.
