Congratulations to Ruth and the whole new team and long live to ETPN!
Ruth Schmid, elected chairperson of the ETPN says:
Dear ETPN members! Having been elected as Chair of ETPN at a great event organized by the ETPN and INL in Braga fills me with motivation to serve the nanomedicine community in the next two years. Thank you for having elected me and trust me and the whole Board, a great team. The ETPN will enter a new chapter. Nanotechnology cannot go alone anymore, all key enabling technologies have to go together to offer holistic solutions for healthcare towards a more integrated continuum of care. I will together with the whole Board be an ambassador for the nanomedicine field and the nanomedicine community, to keep our role as THE THINK TANK for nanomedicine in Europe and achieve visibility in Horizon Europe.
We are extremely proud of this new Board and wish all the luck and success for the ETPN !
