New co-leaders within the SOUND control project

At the start of the SOUND-control COST Action we decided to review the leader and co-leader roles at the midterm evaluation (at the end of 2020), and to perhaps change the leaders into co-leaders and vice versa. In the first half of the project there were a group of younger researchers that took on active roles in this Action that were not part of the core group. At the evaluation of the leader and co-leader roles it was therefore discussed not only to change some of the positions but to also expand the core group with additional co-leaders to provide a chance for younger researchers to become a co-leader and gain some leadership experience. Approval for this decision was obtained from the management committee and we are proud to announce the new composition of the core group of SOUND control:
