Appointment of José Syne as new Secretary General
Dear Members,
I have been appointed Secretary General of the association since the 1st of October 2008 and can be reached at the email address sg@protoneurope.org
I’m 54 years old and live in Belgium where I have been working in public administration and private business. I’m interested in life sciences and nature and in entrepreneurial initiatives in these domains.
I have been involved since more than 18 years in European circles dealing with R & D, innovation, business and regional development, working as private consultant for similar associations, universities and companies.
My first priority will be delivering value added services for you. The preparation of the conference in Cardiff and of training workshops are a major issue.
The second priority is to develop a good and exploitable database of prospects, in order to have a better view of the “market potential” and to use it for the future planned events. You will benefit from more networking opportunities.
The third will be to provide support to the Chairman, to the Executive Committee and to the Board for initiatives aimed at developing close collaboration between ProTon Europe and current and future National Partner Associations in the EU.
I look forward to working with you in the coming months.
Kind regards
José Syne
Secretary General
