Dear ISRE Members,
The president of ISRE usually uses this space to wish everyone a good year and to take the opportunity to highlight activities and initiatives of the society both past and future. This year, we are looking back at a year of upheaval. The past year was a difficult one for all of us and on many different levels.
While we all start to feel that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, normalcy is not yet here. This is why the Board of Directors decided to postpone our bi-annual conference to the summer of 2022. With all the many uncertainties, it was impossible to plan an in-person conference. Given that format of ISRE conferences is one that emphasizes exchange and discourse, the Board decided against a virtual conference. Be on the lookout for more information on the 2022 conference in the months to come.
The past year also brought some new and exciting things for ISRE. The long awaited (and long overdue) new website was brought online. From this website ISRE members can access our journal, Emotion Review, which from this year on will be available online only. The website also features the ISRE webinar series 2020, an initiative of the ISRE Early career researcher group. Go to isre.org to check out the new features.
I wish all of you a happy, healthy and productive year in 2021, and I am looking forward to seeing you at our conference in 2022.
Your President,
Ursula
