Happy New Year to All [President’s Message]

May the year 2023 bring everyone closer to the fulfilment of their dreams. We have left behind a year marked with successes on multiple fronts, including health and technology as well as a year filled with proud people risking their lives for freedom. In particular, two big movements have captured our hearts: the fierce resistance of Ukranian people against the Russian invasion of their country, and the prodemocracy uprising in Iran with women in the lead. I would like to express my sympathy to our colleagues and students who were affected by these events. I would also like to salute our members who are supporting those fighting for their basic rights. May freedom prevail!
