A few weeks ago the EMGO 2006 annual report (see http://www.emgo.nl/) has been distributed. The publication of this report was a bit later than in earlier years, also because of the change in management of the institute. The annual report gives a comprehensive overview of EMGO's research infrastructure, input in terms of people and budget, and of its output and accomplishments in terms of publications, grants and societal impact. If you want a copy of the annual report, please send an email to secretariaat.emgo@vumc.nl.
This annual report was the first that I had the pleasure to send out as the new director of EMGO. But since I was only appointed on April 1 2007, I had no responsibility for EMGO's 2006 output and accomplishments. Therefore I can easily brag about EMGO's success in 2006: over 400 international publications, more than 40 doctoral theses, and many millions in grant money obtained. This provides a very good point of departure for establishing EMGO's future (5-10 years) policy in the coming fall. A policy discussion within the EMGO institute has already been launched to establish EMGO's priorities for the years to come. The results of this discussion will be documented in a policy plan that will be discussed on the EMGO 2007 policy day, November 2, 2007.
