Dear Members of ERSA, dear Colleagues,

 

I hope that you are well.

 

I often have the pleasure to be part of online events presenting my research findings and discussing with colleagues belonging to the ERSA unique Community of regional scientists. But I must say online events are also rich in terms of exchange, and provide many opportunities to replay parallel sessions, or to record your own presentation.

 

Our attention and work are now concentrated on our upcoming ERSA2021 Online Congress, which provides these opportunities and many more. With over 500 presenters already onboard including many eminent scholars, we will be building a very promising program. Don’t hesitate, join us online!

 

Finally, I would like to remember my dear friend and colleague Antoine Bailly who passed away just a few days ago. His contribution to our ERSA-RSAI Community is invaluable. We miss you already Antoine.

 

With best wishes,

 

André Torre

ERSA President
