!Dear members of the Academia Europaea, members of the Young Academy and guest readers,

I am looking forward to our [33rd “Building Bridges” annual member conference|http://www.buildingbridges-acadeuro.org] in Barcelona in two week’s time (25-27 October).

I am particularly looking forward to welcoming many of the new members elected in the past two, difficult COVID limited years, into our community of scholars.  You are joining a community of excellence with a global impact and span.
