Management Board intensifies exchange with AFGs - focus on cooperation
The Executive Board met with the presidents of the academic professional societies (AFGs) in September of this year. We discussed topics such as leadership, common interests and cooperation with other organizations as well as closer cooperation between the Board and the presidents of the academic societies (AFGs). In the future, we will meet more frequently and try to establish closer thematic discussions and organizational cooperation. This is important for the future of our association, as the academic societies (AFGs) represent the backbone and expertise of our association.
