EDITORIAL BOARD
Editorial
A farewell, an acknowledgment, a wish
I’m writing this editorial while I am high up in the mountains, in front of a nice partially ice covered crown of peaks, and with a wide green valley which opens beneath. From so high up, my attention and thoughts are roaming freely, with lightness, peace and hope.
FAREWELL
Primarily, I would like to send my warm farewell salutations to all Members, at the end of my mandate as EACME President. It was a fine experience lived in collaboration and a spirit of service for our Association; we faced a phase of changes and new challenges, which we incurred after twenty five years of life. The situation of the recent yearly Conferences in Oslo, Istanbul, Bristol and now Bochum, have given us a sense of vitality and movement throughout Europe, varying the nature of themes expressed (Empirical Ethics, Bioethics from a cross-cultural Perspective, Other Voices-Other Rooms, Personalised medicine- Medicine for the person?).
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
A thank you to all the Centres which hosted our Meetings, and also a thank you to all the Centres that form EACME, as an association which valorises Institutions/Centres where, of course, there are motivated people who are devoted to the Bioethics themes and who share the ethos of EACME. But my personal thanks is for the Bureau/Executive Committee colleagues, Rouven Porz and Chris Gastmans, a warm thanks for the precious and efficient Angelique Heijnen (Executive Office) for the peaceful and successful work done together. And thanks to the Board of Directors, to the past Presidents and to all the Members with whom we shared these years and with whom we will keep on sharing EACME life.
Prof. Renzo Pegoraro
President of EACME
