Greetings from the President
|
Dear All,
The time has now come for me to say Thank You. My five-year term as President of ERSA ends on the 31st of December 2013. It has been a great experience and I have enjoyed a lot all the interactions with various ERSA-members over the years.
I now want to thank our Executive Director Richard Kelly, our Congress Manager Maristella Angotzi, the EOC members, the ERSAC members, all ERSA-sections and all the ERSA-members for all the good and fruitful co-operation during the past five years.
I also want to extend my thanks to RSAI, the EIB, the Urban Economics Association and many other associations that I have had the privilege to cooperate with.

I leave the presidency of ERSA in a very good mood, since I know that ERSA from the January 1st 2014 will be in very good hands when Professor Jouke van Dijk who takes over as ERSA president. I have known Jouke for many years, I know his competence and capacity and I am fully convinced that ERSA will prosper with him as president during the coming five years. I am also glad that we can welcome a new very qualified vice president for ERSA, Professor Andre Torre.
What remains for me now is to wish the whole ERSA community, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Charlie Karlsson
Professor/Out-going President of ERSA
