After the 16th Meeting of the Scientific and Technical Committee of the international “4 per 1000” Initiative last December in Dubai, two members of the STC have terminated their mandate and left the Committee.

Thus, Dr. Cornelia RUMPEL and Dr. Yasuhito SHIRATO are retiring from the STC after 7 years. The Presidency and the Executive Secretariat would like to thank them deeply for their involvement in the work of the Committee, and, concerning Dr. Cornelia RUMPEL for her chairmanship of the STC during 3 years until 2022.

Consequently, The Consortium of Members decided on December 6, 2023 in Dubai to proceed to the selection then nomination of replacements for those two experts as members of the STC.
