1982

Due to the growing volume of scientific material presented at each congress, three

Committees were set up. The Scientific Committee (Prof. Hohenfellner), the Continuing

Education Committee (Prof. Nagel) and the Film Committee (Prof. Sole Balcells). At the end of the Congress, Prof. Georges Mayor stepped down as treasurer and he was replaced by Prof. Ernst Zingg from Berne. In recognition of his invaluable services to the Association, Zingg was award the distinction of ‘Honorary Member’, the first ever in the Association’s history.
