Summer Ends, New Beginnings Start
While southern Europe is in the middle of the summer holiday season, northern Europe is gradually returning to work and everyday routines. The AINCLUSION community, however, has been active throughout the summer, continuing conversations, research activities, and collaborations across countries and disciplines.
Thank You, Mara
We would like to begin this season with sincere gratitude to Mara-Gabriela Diaconu, who has decided to step down from the AINCLUSION Board to focus on the final phase of her PhD.
Mara has been an important part of our journey. Although we will miss having her on the Board, we are delighted that she will remain connected to AINCLUSION as a friend and supporter. Communities are built by people who care, and Mara has certainly been one of those people.
Thank you, Mara, for everything you have contributed. We wish you all the best and look forward to continuing our journey together in new ways.
