Panel Discussion

On 21 March Council members and nominees were invited to participate in a panel discussion to discuss ‘What are the challenges facing journal editing and publishing and what can EASE do to help?’

Pippa Smart, past president, chaired the session. This provided an opportunity for EASE members to meet our Council and nominees for the next rotation, and hear their views on what challenges we face over the coming months and years.

This event was free and open to all.
