Dear fellow members,
dear colleagues,
dear friends,

On behalf of Euprera and in my own name, I wish you a very happy new year. May 2012 be an exceptional year for you and your family.

The near future is full of promess for our association. Euprera Spring Symposium took place in Berlin, February 17th & 18th on "Web 2.0 in governmental and NGO communication in Europe". The Euprera annual congress will be held in Istanbul on September 20th-22nd, on “Researching the Changing Profession of Public Relations”.

Several projects are expected to emerge and take shape in the future, including an ambitious publication policy to enhance our scientific legitimacy.

The congress is an opportunity to meet new colleagues and to enrich our academic knowledge. It is also an opportunity to further engage in the activities of Euprera and in its differents projects. These activites are essential for our association and its vitality.

I invite you to invest time and energy in Euprera life to further develop our action and disseminate our works. In 2012 the board will be partially renewed and a new President–elect chosen.

Finally, I would like to I thank Emanuele Invernizzi for his dynamic presidency and the energy invested in our association during the past two years.

Happy New Year 2012

Valérie CARAYOL
President of Euprera
