Dear Presidents and Representatives of member societies of ICIAM,
as discussed in the meeting of presidents and in the ICIAM Board meeting that took place in Valencia last July,
please find attached a document prepared by Volker Mehrmann, president of the EMS and Officer of ICIAM,
about the new FAIR principles concerning research data that could affect the practices of our community in
a significant way in the near future. You can make this information available to your committees and to your members
if you wish, or publish it in your newsletters if you think that your membership could be interested in it.
Best regards,
Maria J. Esteban
ICIAM President
