Dear SIEF Board Members,
I hope this email finds you well and that you're enjoying a pleasant
summer with some well-deserved moments of rest and relaxation.
It’s time for us to start planning our first Board meetings. Carna, Tom,
and I would like to suggest:
* Wednesday, 24 September, 14-16h Amsterdam time: short digital
meeting in order to introduce ourselves to each other and discuss
some current issues
* 15-17 January 2026: This meeting will take place in Amsterdam
or Mainz. You would arrive on Thursday evening (15 January, via
Airport Schiphol/Amsterdam or Frankfurt), we have a 1 1/2 day Board
meeting and you would leave again on Saturday afternoon/evening (or
stay a bit in the beautiful cities of Amsterdam or Mainz).
Could you please let me know if these dates work for you? Alternatively,
we could also meet on 23 September instead of 24 September, at the same
times.
SIEF will arrange hotel reservations and cover the cost of your
accommodation for two nights. However, we kindly ask that your home
institutions cover your travel expenses. If this poses a problem, please
don’t hesitate to let me know.
Would you please let me know if the dates work for you?
All the best,
Sophie
