Dear all,

no recent news from the new COST Action which takes the hurdles of administration so that it can live healthily and happily ever after. We’ll have the opportunity to discuss future activities at ECTI. Please bring your ideas about events, international coordination, parity, innovation, and everything else which can be an added value for collaborations !

Best regards,
your editorial team
