With a great pleasure we present the 2020 CIM Annual Report!

What a year! 2020 had hardly started when an unknown virus captured the world and held us hostage, without means to test and diagnose, without remedy to cure, without vaccines to protect. We had to fall back to medieval procedures of isolation and a cessation of public life. Many of us found it challenging to work at home for months. However, compared to 20 years ago, the digital age provided opportunities to overcome barriers imposed by “the virus”. Our report illustrates high productivity and intensive collaboration across diverse (inter-) national networks and groups, thanks to the advancement of digitalization and widespread dissemination of the internet.

We wish you a stimulating and enjoyable reading of all our activities listed in our annual report.
