Dear ESCE members, We are looking forward to meeting you all this year in Ancona for the next CECE meeting ( https://cece2024.com/ ). Registration for the meeting has already opened. If you are planning to attend, remember that you can benefit from a discount as an ESCE member. However, for that you need to be updated about the payment of your membership fees. On behalf of our Secretary/Treasurer Elisabeth Eppler, I would like to remind you of the importance of paying the Society membership fees, not only for this, but because the payment of the fees is important for the maintenance of the Society. Among others, at this point, the fees will help us provide student grants to attend the meeting. If you have doubts about your payment status do not hesitate to contact her . Best regards, Encarnación Capilla ESCE Vice-President
