ORGANISATIONS

Below, you can see which professional organisations - both national and international - I joined, how long my membership or association lasted and how I contributed to the work of those organisations. Unlike the WORK RECORD, this tab page specifies the predominantly non-commercial associations, unions, alliances etc., to which statuary aims I contributed on a non-paid basis.
