Dear constituent organisations of ESAM,
The 1st International Conference of Aerospace Medicine (ICAM) is planned for Paris on September 24-26 September 2020 and preparations are going very well. We hope to see you there!
We are hoping, and believe, that teaming up in order to make the best possible conference in Aerospace Medicine will turn out to be a great success, scientifically and socially. Aviation is global by nature, and our collaboration is going very well. Therefore, The European Society of Aerospace Medicine (ESAM) and the International Academy of Aviation and Space Medicine (IAASM), together with The Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA) are in the early stages of planning a 2nd (ICAM) in Europe in 2022.

We established a working group with the task to develop a communication strategy, to find ways for ESAM to be more visible not only through its website but also by using popular social media channels.

Most of us in the aero-medical community have been in close contact with her as a competent colleague, aero-medical specialist and member of the executive board of the German Society of Aerospace Medicine.
