ROTA of Sections' Seminars

Dear Officers of the EAPE Sections, dear Colleagues and Friends,

I would, first of all, like to congratulate you for your election as Officers of your Sections and to wish you great success in your mission.
You must have realized by now that Ι very much value the contribution of our Sections. I will be at your side to support you. I believe that the Sections have a very important function to fulfill and I hope that they (you) will eventually develop into the scientific arm (but also the visibility arm) of our Association.

I have pleasure in letting you have the rota of the seminars/webinars for this year and the following year.

I should mention that if a Section would like to organize a session in addition to the above program it will be welcomed with thanks. The same stands for inter-sectional collaboration. For example Mental health section with Ethics section and Philosophy section(if we had one) could collaborate in a joint webinar. By the way we should consider enriching EAPE with new sections. Enjoy the summer time!

Cordial regards to all.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

I would, first of all, like to congratulate you for your election as officers of your Sections. We believe that the Sections should be empowered to become the scientific backbone of our Association and I am sure that you will do your best towards this direction.
Scientific backbone? What does this mean? It means two things:
1. Production of new information (research)
2. Dissemination of existing information (teaching, through conferences, seminars and webinars).

I will soon circulate the rota of seminars or webinars that the Sections will have to organize from October onwards. Each of our sections will have to organize two webinars per year. You can of course collaborate with other sections and present inter-sectional webinars.
Unfortunately the finances of EAPE do not allow us to provide funds for technical assistance for the webinars but you will probably manage to find assistance from your universities.

In response to our EAPE survey, a number of colleagues have expressed their wish and willingness to serve as speakers in webinars etc. I am therefore sharing a list of these colleagues with their e-mails and their preferences to participate in the webinars of this and that section. I should be grateful if you would encourage them to participate in the activities of your section, if appropriate. One of the main issues that we are called to face is the complaint of the members that they do not get enough information about our activities and that they are not invited to participate in them. So, I am sure that you will agree that we should remedy this. You can see this list by clicking HERE.

Thank you very much for your cooperation and I look forward to working closely with you. By now you must have realized that the Sections are close to my heart.

With best wishes for a happy and uneventful summer.
George Christodoulou
EAPE President
