Dear ALERT community,

On behalf of the ALERT Bureau and the Board of directors, we would like to wish you a Happy New Year 2023.

This year, two new members joined us (https://alertgeomaterials.eu/alert-geomaterials/members/), and the annual meeting in Aussois was a great success, with more than 200 participants at the Center Paul Langevin. We can only hope to keep the same trend this year.

We wish you all the best for 2023, may it bring peace, health and joy to you and your loved ones.

See you all in Aussois,
