On the occasion of the EIT Executive Committee meeting (24 September) and Governing Board meeting, 25th September 2014, a workshop was organised to act as a handover between outgoing GB members and the recently appointed Chairman of the Governing Board, Peter Olesen, as well as the EIT's management team. The EIT would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding work and commitment to the EIT shown by the 2008 - 2014 Governing Board Members.
