4) Provide the governance of our Society with an information management system,
5) Our Society has 14 technical committees which is
one of our strengths and we are proud of them,
however with the rapid evolution of our field of expertise it is important to align our technical fields
with our publication's main topics. This requires a
fine analysis based on artificial intelligence that I
intend to launch quickly.
6) Our Society is giving a great importance in its
2020-2024 strategic plan to Global Education, we

are planning to launch in 2021 the CASS Institute
for Global Education with our Resource Center as
the backbone. To start, the Institute will coordinate all our education activities and initiatives.
To conclude, I count on all members of our Society to
support our initiatives.
I wish you an excellent end-of-year holidays and a
fruitful, safe and healthy year 2021.
