Work and achievements

The IFEM Continuous Professional Development Committee has worked hard to develop applications for ICEM meetings, oversight committees for ICEM meetings and a handbook to guide programme developers. We are now working with the Special interest Groups to revive the symposia in a way that will benefit both IFEM and its constituents.
