Establishment of Scientific Committee for Protecting Native Honey Bees Announced
A recently established Scientific Committee has announced the appointment of four members from different countries, as revealed in a recent Executive Board meeting. The new members hail from Serbia, North Macedonia, Austria, Ireland, and Estonia.
Ratko Pavlović, a notable figure from Serbia, has joined the committee, along with Dr. Aleksandar Uzunov from North Macedonia, Michael Rubinigg from Austria, Alexandra Valentine from Ireland, and Daniil Brant from Estonia. The selection process, background, and qualifications of these candidates were not disclosed in the meeting's minutes.
The newly appointed members will have the opportunity to elect their leadership at future meetings. However, details about the nature of these meetings and the leadership roles were not provided.
It is worth noting that a search for information about the members of a similar Scientific Committee for a different organisation or event, such as PENSA 2025 and ISMRM, yielded some results. PENSA 2025's Scientific Committee, for instance, includes Dr Andrew Li (Scientific Chair), A/Prof Will Loh, Dr Charles Lew, A/Prof Dr Frederick Koh, Dr Samuel Chew, and Hazel Yeong.
However, in the case of the committee in question, no explicit list of members for a newly established Scientific Committee by an Executive Board was found in the provided search results. Further information about this committee and its purpose remains to be disclosed.
As more details emerge, we will continue to keep you updated on the progress and activities of this newly formed Scientific Committee.
Ratko Pavlović, being a member from Serbia, brings his rigorous scientific background to the committee that also includes health-and-wellness aspects, considering Dr. Aleksandar Uzunov's expertise in North Macedonia. As the new members, such as Michael Rubinigg from Austria, Alexandra Valentine from Ireland, and Daniil Brant from Estonia, will elect their leadership at future meetings, the health-and-wellness focus of the committee remains unclear, similar to how the specific roles and details of these meetings are yet to be revealed.
