Unfortunately, due to the health situation, the World Congress has been postponed to April 2022. The current situation requires us to offer new alternatives to our members to share their best practices and meet each other. For this reason, it was decided not to wait any longer to launch the digital platform which, as you will recall, is the result of our meeting in Paris in 2019. On February 15, our website will finally be online thanks to a communication campaign towards our members and partners. As I have already mentioned to you in the past, your participation as a member of our association is essential to the success of this application. Program
