Dear GIREP Members and Friends,
We would like to announce that GIREP has been successfully registered as an international non-profit organization GIREP vzw in Belgium on the 2nd of January 2016, so in its 50th anniversary year we celebrate a kind of rebirth of GIREP. One of the changes we want to promote just from the beginning is a new procedure of election. GIREP Committee announces that elections to GIREP Committee and GIREP auditor will take place during summer 2016, and for the first time they will be held online. One of the advantages of establishing a legal organisation is a possibility to open a bank account of the organisation itself. So starting this year you may pay your GIREP membership in two easy ways: by bank transfer or PayPal account. Please, notice that only current GIREP members will be able to vote and to be voted for GIREP Committee and GIREP auditor. We would also like to remind you that there are two GIREP scientific meetings organized this year: the 2nd WCPE in Sao Paolo, Brasil and the GIREP Seminar in Krakow, Poland.

Details about the above-mentioned information are available in a letter.

We wish you fruitful conferences and lovely summer holidays.

GIREP Committee
Marisa Michelini, the President
Dagmara Sokolowska, the Secretary
