New Board of Directors

The ISGS Board recently finalised the election of new Board members, while farewelling outgoing colleagues. Professors Luca Malfatti (Italy) and Sidney Ribeiro (Brazil) have now concluded their six-year appointments, and their contributions will be formally acknowledged in an upcom-ing issue of the Newsletter. In their place (and to fill two additional vacant positions), Professors Galo Soler-Illia (Argentina), Nicola Hüsing (Austria), Stéphane Parola (France) and Alessandro Martucci (Italy), have now been elected as our newest Board Members. A story on their career trajectories will also be included in an up-coming issue of the Newsletter. While we congratulate our colleagues on their appointment to the ISGS Board, it is also important to acknowledge, with thanks, the commitment shown to the future of the International Sol-Gel Community by the other candidates who submitted nominations for Board membership.

The ISGS – Supporting the Activities of an Active Non-Profit Society

Since its launch at the 12th International Sol-Gel Conference in Australia in 2003, the International Sol-Gel Socie-ty has aspired to support the sol-gel community-of-practice through a variety of initiatives, including the biennial International Sol-Gel Conferences and the awards given to celebrate achievements at various career stages from PhD student to senior sol-gel practitioners.
