8 May 2011

Professor Roger Crelier (Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz) took over from Dr Feike Grit (Netherlands) as President of the European Academy at the Annual Academy Dinner on Saturday 7 May. He will serve a two year term.

Commenting on his appointment Professor Crelier said:

“As President my role is to be the public face of the European Academy and I am looking forward to continuing to ensure that matters directly affecting the membership remain priority on the Academy’s agenda. It is inspiring to see so many delegates here from so many different backgrounds. We are here with a common goal - to further advance eye care across Europe. This weekend’s conference has provided us with valuable learning and networking opportunities and I hope delegates will leave the event enthused and motivated by the Academy’s work.”
