On 5 April, after 2 years of Covid restrictions, there was finally another physical meeting of the INGO Conference of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg.
For Anje Wiersinga, this was the last time she wanted to be physically present. She bid farewell to this forum where she has represented the IAW for more than 20 years.
