October 2024
Welcome to the October 2024 AILA Newsletter, the first newsletter since the new board was elected. As I said in my President’s Vision speech https://aila.info/aila-presidents-vision-2024/, if we want to go fast, we should walk alone but if we want to go far, we have to walk in company, and in good company I am! This is the new AILA board https://aila.info/about/organization/executive_board/ and committees https://aila.info/about/organization/committees/ that are walking and working with us ☺

To mark AILA’s 60th anniversary and outreach to different regions of the world, we had two World Congresses in different regions: in 2023 in Europe (Lyon) and in 2024 in Asia (Kuala Lumpur See report). Our next World Congresses will be in North America- Vancouver, Australia (2027) and Oceania - Perth, Australia (2030) https://aila.info/events/aila-world-congresses/. Meanwhile, forthcoming events by affiliates and relevant institutions include:
