Suvi Saarikallio’s (new @ESCOMsociety President!) words on day 1 captured the beauty of our #Escom12 community:
ESCOM is a chance for us to open a window. The conference is a chance to let the breeze in, & enjoy being with our international family.
Here’s to our #ESCOM family!
How proud I feel to be part of this wonderful field, with all of these incredible researchers!
Thank you @AndreaSchiavio @helena_daffern and everyone involved in hosting and planning @escom_12#escom12 - utterly stimulating, fun, and full of open sharing and hearty discussion.

It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that ESCOM informs you of the passing of our honorary member, Professor Alf Gabrielsson, on May 24th 2024 at the age of 87. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

His contributions to the field and his presence among us will be deeply missed. Professor Gabrielsson was a remarkable scholar and a beloved figure in our community.
