Greetings All,
Hope you are all well.
We would like to brief you on three things:
1. Our plenary session proposal
has
been accepted, the session is scheduled on Day II, Tuesday 24 October
2023. It would be great if you were able to join the session.
We would like to invite 2-3 presentations from group members or potential
session participants to introduce their work or practice in related to any
of the topics as expressed in ten rules below. If you are interested in
presenting, please contact any group co-chairs by 30 September.
2. A reminder that our next group call is this Wednesday 16 August,
starting 12pm UTC. You can check your local time here

The meeting will again be a co-working session to further develop and add

3. Last but not least, we are delighted to have a new co-chair - Dr.
Brigitte Mathiak. Many of you perhaps have already known Brigitte, she is
team leader at GESIS - Leibniz Institue for the Social Science. She has
been an active member of the group.
We are still keen to have 2 or 3 co-chairs, preferrly co-chairs would have
diversity in world regions, professional stage and gendar etc. If you are
interested in taking up the co-chair role, please feel free to contact us.
Kind regards,
Brigitte, Fotis, Kathleen and Ming
