New coordinators appointed across five IASP subnetworks and groups

During the 43rd IASP World Conference in Sophia Antipolis (France), IASP CEO Ebba Lund presented the new coordinators of five IASP subnetworks and groups: Aerospace, Agrifood, ICT, Sustainability and Women in IASP. 

IASP subnetworks and groups bring IASP members together around shared interests, giving them a space to exchange knowledge, share experiences and learn from one another. The incoming coordinators will build on the work of their predecessors, but these communities are shaped by all their members. Everyone is welcome to participate, contribute ideas and help guide the direction of their group. 

The new coordinators are: 

• Aerospace: Mariana Gomes of São José dos Campos Technology Innovation Park (Brazil) takes over from Olivier Zephir of Technoport (Luxembourg) and Manwei Chan of Voyager Technologies (US). 
• Agrifood: Karine Guilbault of Saint-Hyacinthe Technopole (Canada) succeeds Alicia Cañadas of PITA Almería (Spain).  
• ICT: Ian Underdown of the University of Nottingham Innovation Park (UK) takes over from Hao Tang of Jiangsu Tuspark (China).  
• Sustainability: Fabio Morea of Area Science Park (Italy) succeeds Yaruq Nadeem of the National Science & Technology Park (Pakistan).  
• Women in IASP: Carol Stewart of Arizona Tech Parks (US) succeeds Roz Bird of Norwich Research Park (UK).   

We extend our sincere thanks to all the outgoing coordinators (Alicia Cañadas, Yaruq Nadeem, Roz Bird, Hao Tang, Olivier Zephir and Manwei Chan) for their commitment and valuable contributions to sustain and strengthen their respective subnetworks and groups.  

We warmly welcome the incoming coordinators and look forward to upcoming activities and collaborations.
