As we come to the end of a very unusual year, I am pleased to invite you to an online meeting on Tuesday, 15 December 2020, from 2.30 to 4.00 p.m. It will be an opportunity to look back at the challenges and achievements of 2020, and to update you on the main outcomes of the December Session of the CERN Council, which is taking place this week. We will also have the opportunity to thank very warmly the outgoing members of the Directorate – Frédérick Bordry, Eckhard Elsen and Martin Steinacher – for their extraordinary dedication and great accomplishments over the past years. The agenda is available here: https://indico.cern.ch/event/984135/

As usual, it will be possible to ask questions; details will be provided the day before the meeting.

I look forward to reviewing the year and getting together with you, albeit virtually, before the end of the year.
