  • ISI 2023: it was agreed for the Scientific Board to support an application for a panel for ISI 2023. Most of the proposed panelists will be at the conference anyway and their attendance will be funded by their institutions. Flavio will be the main contact for this and is proposed as the panel lead in the proposal (abstract proposal deadline July 15th). Flavio, Wendy and Dan G. will be collaborating on this.

  • The Scientific Board meeting planned for August will be cancelled due to people’s availability. The next Scientific Board meeting will be in Chur.
