Did you miss AEM on 10 February? Don't worry, here comes the summary and the presentation. Sonja Berlijn talked about safety, the health survey, the operational plan and reflections around 2021.

She also reminded us of necessary precautions, such as not letting strangers into our premises and not clicking on unknown links in e-mails.
