CTER General Meeting (7.04.2022)

It was a great pleasure for us to meet  CTER members at the tri-annual CTER General Meeting, which was held on 7th April 2022 at 17.00 CET. We convened online and the meeting covered the following issues:

  • CTER presidential elections;
  • an update on CTER membership;
  • information about the current and forthcoming CTER projects and events;
  • informal discussion on CTER-related matters; and
  • AOB.

We look forward to future CTER events.

CTER election (29.03.22-05.04.22)

The turn of March and April 2022 saw this year’s CTER Presidential Election, as members of the Consortium voted for CTER President for the years 2022-2025. The results of the vote revealed a perfect tie, with each of the two candidates, incumbent CTER President Prof. UJ Maria Piotrowska and CTER Secretary Dr Mariusz Marczak, receiving exactly 50% of the votes. As a mark of respect to the voters’ decision, it was decided that in the next three years CTER will be functioning under split presidency, i.e. Prof. UJ Maria Piotrowska will carry on as CTER President from April 2022 to September 2023, while Dr Mariusz Marczak will take over from October 2023 (to March 2025). Consequently, new CTER Secretary will be appointed for the second part of the present term of office.
