Dear all,
Exactly four years ago I was really looking forward to meeting so many of you (some for the first time) – this was the day just before the kick-off meeting. We were about to start this wonderful adventure: our COST Action TD1301, MiMed.
I cannot thank enough to everyone in COST for the amazing opportunity and for trusting me to lead a four-year networking project which gathered over 250 people from 30 countries: I will be forever grateful to our Science Officer, and all our Administrative Officers throughout the years, as well as the remaining staff in COST – European Cooperation in Science and Technology I met at several meetings and occasions. Your work and dedication is truly inspiring!
Also, I have so much to thank to everyone in our Action: vice-chair, WG leaders, STSM manager, Media officer, all participants, speakers, trainers, trainees – I could write all of your names, but the list of people would be too long to write in this message! You have all made our Action a success and we have so much to be proud for as a community.
A really special thank you goes to everyone in our grant holder institution, you have done an amazing work of keeping all accounts and logistics in order, and it was a great pleasure working with you and becoming your friend in the past four years.
I have personally learnt so much from all of you, been involved in so many interesting talks, schools, projects (and now that the Action is coming to an end, I will have the time to get involved in even more) and was really lucky to have made so many great friends in the process. I will never be able to repay everything that I learnt from all of you. So be assured that I will always be there to help you in whatever little way I can in the future!
We still have a few things to look forward to within the context of this particular COST Action, and much more that is happening as a result of this COST Action. I cannot wait to see what we will do as a community in the area of Microwave Medical (MiMed) research!
Looking forward to meeting you all again soon,
Thank you all,
Regards,
Raquel
