Message of the Coordinator

We had a fantastic pair of study days in Profondval last week ! Of course, the people being honored at such an event should not be the ones saying this, but for once, I will ask you to indulge for the liberty I am taking here. The organization was perfect, for which we need to thank the two chairmen, Philippe and Pierre-Antoine, who put this nice program together, and the two "co-chair"women, Isabelle and Nathalie, who looked after every organizational detail in order to make it a success. Michel and I really enjoyed every bit of that meeting !

I also want to take the opportunity here to thank Michel for the the impact he had on our DYSCO network. He guided the network for about 20 years and was responsible for a large part of its success. As he mentioned himself in his closing remarks, this success is also due to the fantastic network of collaborators we are lucky to have in DYSCO : it is a pleasure to see how well this network functions and this was clearly reflected in the atmosphere in Profondval.

I wish Michel the very best and hope that he will experience the same friendship in his future activities.

Paul Van Dooren
Coordinator of DYSCO
