Kære RSA-medlem,
Som dansk ambassdør for RSA er min rolle at profilere vores aktiviteter i Danmark og bidrage til at du får mest muligt ud af de mange muligheder for netværks-aktiviteter, videns-udveksling og publikation, som bliver organiseret inden for foreningen. Aktiveterne bliver drevet af medlemmerne, og hvis du har en ide til et nyt initiativ – f.eks. et seminar eller et forskningsnetværk – er du meget velkommen til at kontakte mig.
De bedste hilsner
Laura James
Dear RSA member, As the Danish ambassador for RSA, my role is to profile our activities in Denmark and help you get the most out of the many opportunities for networking activities, knowledge exchange and publication, which are organized within the association. The activities are run by the members, and if you have an idea for a new initiative – e.g. a seminar or a research network – you are very welcome to contact me.
Best wishes,
