Dear SNRD Asia and the Pacific members and readers,
What a year this has been…! 2020 is almost over and it was in all its facets an extraordinary year! We were looking forward to meeting you in person this year during the most awaited sector network event, our joint SNRD AP TUEWAS Conference in Bangkok, first in May, then in October. The situation did not allow for such, but we are all hopeful that next year will be a better one!
Despite the current life “in pandemic” we are still amazed and proud how much drive there was at our SNRD Asia and the Pacific in 2020: We have welcomed several new projects (now having 73 associated projects, representing a total, global project volume, of over €1 billion) and members, we hosted many webinars through our working groups and the network as a whole (e.g. on TOPICS, PANORAMA and many others), connecting colleagues across the globe. The new SNRD AP Learning and Innovation Fund with increased budgets (up to 15.000 EUR per proposal) for our members sparked more exciting collaboration, which is now complemented by our new staff in our secretariat to support our members better. Beyond that, we had our first ever SNRD AP TUEWAS Joint virtual event, where we had more than 150 participants, issued newsletters with exciting content and plenty of interesting exchanges with members, working group leaders, our hierarchies, other sector networks’ spokespersons and of course on the level of our secretariat team.
As you know, we are committed to make our work and support to you better, so we are keen to continue our SNRD AP “future-fit-process”, which shall enhance our set-up and our services to you as members. Be invited to be part of it! Feel free to approach us anytime to share your thoughts, hints, ideas to make us respond well to your needs! We are looking at establishing new work-formats aside from our WG that support topics and drive “where the energy is”.
Now enjoy reading our newsletter’s Christmas-Edition.
Have a wonderful Christmas Season and we are sending our best wishes for 2021!
Stay in touch, fine and healthy!
Warm regards,
Matthias Radek (SNRD AP Spokesperson), Donaya Siamwalla (SNRD AP Network Manager and Public Relations Officer), Wilaiwan Photharam (SNRD AP Assistant), and Neha Singh (SNRD AP Assistant)
