Evaluators from all over Europe and beyond gathered together in Maastricht, Netherlands from the 26^th of September until the 30^th of September, 2016 at the 12^th EES Biennial Conference (EES 2016) to network and share their experiences about the role of evaluation in a changing world, including innovative discussion forums. EES 2016 was also the fourth collective work in a row for C-IN and EES.

From the 23rd until the 26th of April, ancient Athens hosted a unique joint conference containing a closed access International BFM Study Group (I-BFM SG) meeting and open Biennial Childhood Leukemia Symposium (CLS). These two forums together cover in depth the major aspects on diagnosis, treatment and research of childhood leukemias and lymphomas promoting international collaboration and inspiring new therapeutic strategies. Both part of the conference require their own specifications in the organisational stage, what makes it a tricky event for the Core PCO partner.

Last week, the C-IN office in Prague welcomed a newly formed board of the European Evaluation Society (EES) led by president of the society, Riitta Oksanen. The partnership between C-IN and this highest evaluation authority regarding association management has successfully stepped into its 8th year of existence. Apart from advancing the strategic aim of the society, the organisation of the 12th EES Biennial Conference (EES 2016) was on the agenda.

C-IN is honoured to introduce a new dermatological Core PCO partner. After a demanding candidacy process, C-IN was appointed for providing complete Core PCO services for the European Society for Pediatric Dermatology (ESPD) based in Strasbourg, France. Together with ESPD, the European Society for Dermatological Research (ESDR) and European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV), C-IN is expanding its interaction with the European dermatology community.

The C-IN team member, who is responsible for the preparation of conferences for I-BFM SG, prestigious medical forum in the research of childhood leukemia, is currently mapping destination in Israel for the conference in 2017. Together with representatives of the I-BFM, we are deciding between historical Jerusalem and the modern city of Tel Aviv.

The amazing ancient city, Athens will host the 27th Annual Meeting of the International BFM Study Group and the Biennal Symposium on Childhood Leukemia. C-IN is pleased to provide full core PCO services for both meetings in 2016. Our Director of Operations, Tomas Maxa, and Project Manager, Karel Jezek, participated in a site meeting with members of the local organizing committee in these days.
