Dear all,
Next week will see the scientific Kickoff Meeting of the new COST Action in beautiful Granada/Spain. This is your opportunity to propose an exciting program for the next year. If you think that Ion Trappers should organize a common approach on a certain topic, either scientific or technological, do not hesitate to propose a subject, a workshop, a meeting or a school. You can send an answer to this newsletter or directly contact the chair of the Action, Markus Hennrich.
Best regards,
Your editorial team
